Each package's name identifies the minimum API level and architecture
for which the package was configured.  To select the optimal package for
your device, locate the package compiled for its architecture and the
nearest API level not exceeding that of the operating system.  For
example, a 64-bit ARM device with Android 15 (API level 35) should
receive:

  emacs-31.1-35-arm64-v8a.apk

The packages in the `termux' subdirectory are compiled with a shared
user ID enabling access to the Termux Unix software repository.  For
more particulars as regards their use, consult the Android README at:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/emacs/android/README

By verifying the digests of the files you download against the digests
provided above with `sha1sum', it is possible to verify that they have
not been tampered with.  Another means of doing so is to download the
`.sig' files which answer to them from the same directories, and run,
e.g.:

  $ gpg --verify emacs-31.1-35-arm64-v8a.apk.sig

If verification fails because GPG cannot locate a public key against
which to verify your downloads, install mine from a reputable keyserver
such as keyserver.ubuntu.com:

  $ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys \
    6B678974F883131751B2B1A09EF0C7D0EDB0AF5A

Or by importing the Emacs Savannah project's group release keyring:

  $ wget -O emacs-keyring.gpg \
    https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=emacs\&download=1
  $ gpg --import emacs-keyring.gpg

We shall be indebted to anyone who provides testing and feedback.
