Remove start activity result methods for restoring backups in client auth and onion service activities. Removes now unused DiskUtils.createReadFileIntent Inspired by #1800
Remove legacy write file via activity result API. Inspired by @meenbeese work in #1800. Also removes the need for hte method DiskUtils.createWriteFileIntent
Clenaups related to #1800 - Fragment code for client auth activity result isn't necessary, removed. - Changed visibility of some fields from private to pkg private, linter said the compiler was creating a synthetic accessor... (fields are only used in an internal class)
fix typo in unused SQL edge case for updating the local SQL that says if client authorizaiton for an onion service is enabled/disabled (credit to @meenbeese re #1800)
Fix ORB-02-004 WP1: Consent Bypass via Kindness Mode Restart (Medium) When a kindness mode specific preference is changed, snowflake proxy was turned on/off twice This is the intended behavior when its running (turn it off, then retsart it with the new changes) but when kindness mode is off, this behavior briefly turns on snowflake proxy, despite the user being informed that it's off. This logic is fixed in this commit
Fix ORB-02-008 WP3: Lack of Path Traversal Protection (Low) Perform validation when restoring zip archives of onion services hosted by orbot
ORB-02-005 WP3: Android Network Hardening Recommendations (Medium) - explicitly specify that hasFragileUserData is false in manifest (app always deletes user data on uninstall)
Fix ORB-02-013 WP3: External Tor Activation Enabled by Default (Low) Disable default behavior of allowing other apps to send Orobt a start intent
Fix ORB-02-011 WP1/3: Tor/VPN Disablement via Incomplete Cleanup (High) When a snowflake proxy connection test fails, restart the connection to the Tor network
Use AGP 9.4.0 (for android application plugin)
Fix: ORB-02-014 WP3: Hardcoded AWS SQS Credentials Though the SQS Credentials aren't secrets, remove them since their unused to prevent the accidental reuse of them in the future...
Hardened Snowflake Kindness Mode Power (Dis)Connected Receiver ORB-02-002 The receiver has an intent filter for the two system power connected events, but explicitly check the action in the receiver implementation
Camo mode also respects kindness mode notifications, ORB-02-010
- Correctly use UK exit node in exit node dialog - Uzbekistan's DNSTT config is correctly loaded Closes #1796
- Fixes Wi-Fi option being ignored off by default (#1798) - Kindness Mode's network receiver only needs to subscribe to Wi-Fi events, fixes edge case where wifi is ignored when tor's vpn is active...)

normalize unicode spaces in custom bridge input #1695 HTML email substitutes non breaking spaces for regular ones when a bridge line gets copied out, and the validation regex plus Bridge.kt's split both only understand ASCII whitespace, so those lines get rejected. Normalize Unicode space variants at the input path before validating or storing. Validation and saving also parsed differently: isValidBridge split with lines() and dropped blanks while the save handler split on a bare \n with no filter, so CRLF pastes could validate but store lines with a trailing \r. Both now go through one cleanBridgeLines path.
add ipv6Pref to HTTPTunnelPort in torrc #1420 SOCKSPort already gets $ipv6Pref appended so IPv6Traffic/PreferIPv6/ NoIPv4Traffic follow the user's setting, but HTTPTunnelPort was missing the same flags, so IPv6 selections made in the UI only applied to the socks proxy and not the http tunnel. Tor's client port options (IPv6Traffic, PreferIPv6, NoIPv4Traffic) are valid on HTTPTunnelPort the same as SOCKSPort, so append it there too.

App Info
Orbot
Orbot is the original free and open-source Tor-powered VPN for iOS and macOS. Orbot helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you. FEATURES: - Browse the internet over Tor. - Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs. - Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor. DISCLAIMERS: - Web browsing is much slower than through a normal VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network. - Orbot might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge). - Use of Orbot is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device. ** Orbot is free and open-source software. You can read more about Orbot and how to support development of Tor on iOS by visiting orbot.app **
