A fully free and open-source Local Profile Assistant implementation for Android devices.

__Google is threatening to lock down the Android platform in 2026. OpenEUICC and EasyEUICC, as Free Software projects, will never accept Google's proposed third-party developer verification flow. Join us in Keeping Android Open at <https://keepandroidopen.org/>.__

There are two variants of this project, OpenEUICC and [EasyEUICC](https://easyeuicc.org):

|                               |            OpenEUICC            |      EasyEUICC      |
|:------------------------------|:-------------------------------:|:-------------------:|
| Privileged                    | Must be installed as system app |         No          |
| Internal eSIM                 |            Supported            |     Unsupported     |
| External eSIM [^1]            |            Supported            |      Supported      |
| USB Readers                   |            Supported            |      Supported      |
| Requires allowlisting by eSIM |               No                |  Yes -- except USB  |
| System Integration            |          Partial [^2]           |         No          |
| Minimum Android Version       |      Android 11 or higher       | Android 9 or higher |

[^1]: Also known as "Removable eSIM"
[^2]: Carrier Partner API unimplemented yet

Some side notes:

1. When privileged, OpenEUICC supports any eUICC chip that implements the [SGP.22] standard, internal or external.
   However, there is **no guarantee** that external (removable) eSIMs actually follow the standard.
   Please **DO NOT** submit bug reports for non-functioning removable eSIMs.
   They are **NOT** officially supported unless they also support / are supported by EasyEUICC, the unprivileged
   variant.
2. Both variants support accessing eUICC chips through USB CCID readers,
   regardless of whether the chip contains the correct ARA-M hash to allow for unprivileged access.
   However, only `T=0` readers that use the standard [USB CCID protocol][usb-ccid] are supported.
3. Prebuilt release-mode EasyEUICC apks can be downloaded [here][releases].
   For OpenEUICC, no official release is currently provided and only debug mode APKs and Magisk modules can be found in
   the [CI page][actions].
4. For removable eSIM chip vendors: to have your chip supported by official builds of EasyEUICC when inserted,
   include the ARA-M hash `2A2FA878BC7C3354C2CF82935A5945A3EDAE4AFA`.

**This project is Free Software licensed under GNU GPL v3, WITHOUT the "or later" clause.**
Any modification and derivative work **MUST** be released under the SAME license, which means, at the very least, that
the source code **MUST** be available upon request.

**If you are releasing a modification of this app, you are kindly asked to make changes to at least the app name and
package name.**

# Building (Gradle)

Make sure you have all submodules cloned and updated by running

```shell
git submodule update --init
```

A file `keystore.properties` is required in the root directory. Template:

```ini
storePassword=my-store-password
keyPassword=my-password
keyAlias=my-key
unprivKeyPassword=my-unpriv-password
unprivKeyAlias=my-unpriv-key
storeFile=/path/to/android/keystore
```

Note that you must have a Java-compatible keystore generated first.

To build the privileged OpenEUICC:

```shell
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease
```

For EasyEUICC:

```shell
./gradlew :app-unpriv:assembleRelease
```

# Building (AOSP)

There are two ways to include OpenEUICC in your AOSP-based system image:

1. Include this project and its [dependencies](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/android_prebuilts_openeuicc-deps) inside
   the AOSP tree.

- If inclusion in `manifest.xml` is required, remember to set the `sync-s` option to clone submodules.
- The module name is `OpenEUICC`. You can include it in `PRODUCT_PACKAGES`, or simply build it standalone using `mm`.
- Compilation of this project is **only** tested against the latest AOSP release version. The app itself should be
  compatible with older AOSP versions, but the source may not compile against an older AOSP source tree.

2. If compilation against AOSP source tree is not possible, consider [building with gradle](#building-gradle) and import
   the apk as a prebuilt.

- No official `Android.bp` is provided for this case but it should be straightforward to write.
- You might want to include [`privapp_whitelist_im.angry.openeuicc.xml`] as well.

[`privapp_whitelist_im.angry.openeuicc.xml`]: privapp_whitelist_im.angry.openeuicc.xml "OpenEUICC Privapp Whitelist"

# FAQs

- Q: Do you provide prebuilt binaries for OpenEUICC? \
  A: Debug-mode APKs and Magisk modules are available continuously as an artifact of the [Actions] CI used by this
  project. However, these debug-mode APKs are **not** intended for inclusion inside system images, nor are they
  supported by the developer in any sense. If you are a custom ROM developer, either include the entire OpenEUICC
  repository in your AOSP source tree, or generate an APK using `gradle` and import that as a prebuilt system app. Note
  that you might want [`privapp_whitelist_im.angry.openeuicc.xml`] as well.

- Q: Can EasyEUICC manage my phone's internal eSIM? \
  A: No. For EasyEUICC to work, the eSIM chip MUST proactively grant access via its ARA-M field.

- Q: Removable eSIMs? Are they a joke? \
  A: No, even though the name "removable embedded SIM" can sound like an oxymoron. In fact, there can be many advantages
  to these chips compared to fully embedded ones. For example, the ability to transfer eSIM profiles without carrier
  support or approval, or the ability to use eSIM on devices that do not and may never get the support, such as Wi-Fi
  hotspots.
