Simple incoming SMS to URL forwarder
About this app
Incoming SMS to URL forwarder will forward incoming SMS to a URL you specify:
Set sender phone number or name and URL. It should match the number or name you see in the SMS messenger app. If you want to send any SMS to URL, use * (asterisk symbol) as a name.
Every incoming SMS will be sent immediately to the provided URL. If the response code is not 2XX or the request ended with a connection error, the app will try to send again up to 10 times. The first retry will be after 10 seconds, later wait time will increase exponentially. If the phone is not connected to the internet, the app will wait for the connection before the next attempt.
Optional extras: match senders with a regular expression, filter by message text, sign requests with HMAC-SHA-256, keep messages that failed to deliver for a manual retry, send a periodic heartbeat ping for monitoring, forward to local-network endpoints without internet, and back up / restore your forwarding rules as a JSON file.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be tech.bogomolov.incomingsmsgateway is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 2.3.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall SMS to URL Forwarder first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of SMS to URL Forwarder, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets SMS to URL Forwarder do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
