Editor's Overview

Conscrypt Provider is a system application developed by Mendhak, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.0 weighing in at 5.24 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 5.24 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Mendhak" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Conscrypt Provider is an APK which can provide the Conscrypt Library to apps that support older Android devices.
The Conscrypt Library provides modern TLS capabilities and ciphers, including TLS 1.3, and supports all the way back to Android 2.3 Gingerbread!

I have wrapped it in a standalone APK because not all users will need it (Android 10+ has TLS 1.3 enabled), and because the library is quite large.

Users: will need to install this app. It does not appear in the app drawer as it has no interface.

App Developers: will need to add code to their apps to make use of this provider.
For instructions on how to do this, see the README: https://github.com/mendhak/Conscrypt-Provider

I have made use of the F-Droid blog post and an associated gist.

This may not be the best or perfect way to provide Conscrypt to applications, but it's a way that works for me. I'm putting it on F-Droid in case it benefits others too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Conscrypt Provider free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Conscrypt Provider require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Conscrypt Provider safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Mendhak. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Conscrypt Provider?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
