How Code Transparency is Better than Usual Signing?
Regardless of the signing method used for program bundles and APKs, code transparency exists. When using Play App Signing, the app signing key is kept on Google’s secure infrastructure separately from and distinct from the code transparency key.

Code Transparency For App Bundles in Android 13
Before shipping any new apps, you may want to have a better understanding of how things will work if you can have better code transparency to deliver your app bundles to the user. Perhaps a better signing mechanism or something like that in place. For apps released using the Android App Bundle, code transparency is an optional code signing and verification approach. It makes use of a signing key for code transparency that is only owned by the app developer. You can sign in your code with the native method which is built into the Android Studio, or you may alternatively enroll yourself in Google Play Signing, but altogether, you need to sign up your app before it gets to the public, and for that Android 13 can help you by adding more transparency. In this Geeks for Geeks article we will learn how you can adopt this new mechanism.
