Description

It seems our github release apk contains signature block blobs: 0x504b4453 (DEPENDENCY_INFO_BLOCK; GOOGLE)

If we can't see what's inside we should remove it, if it does not break the Google Play releases.

see https://gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/issues/792 for details

Research direction

Start by inspecting the release APK for the 0x504b4453 DEPENDENCY_INFO_BLOCK described in the issue and review the linked GitLab issue for context. Determine whether the block can be removed without breaking Google Play releases; done means the release artifact no longer contains it and Google Play compatibility is preserved.
