I would like to create a signal account under an android emulator, since I am running linux can this be done within the android-studio emulator?

How strict is signal on device fingerprint and proxy? can Tor be used? does the proxy country have to match the phone number?

I want to know this question, too
I'm going to try it on the simulator
If you have a new way, we can communicate
 
Were you successful?
Not successful
I can't open Signal in the simulator
I also used a cloud phone. The network connection failed when registering. I am now consulting customer service
 
I've registered successfully on my cloud phone
But it still doesn't work on the simulator.
I'm always unable to connect to the Internet after confirming my phone number
But I guess it might be a problem with the Chinese firewall, but I can't solve it

Sounds like Chines firewall issue, you might need a VPN or signal proxy. were you able to use some a provider like smspva for the number? The cloud phone was using a data center or residential or 4G or VPN IP address?

Yes, my Signal desktop version also can't receive the QR code. I've confirmed it's an issue with the Great Firewall of China.

I used SMS-activate to get a number, then registered using Cloud Phone. I've already completed five accounts.

I'm currently using a residential IP on my Cloud Phone. I haven't tested other proxy types, but I believe they should work.

I did encounter a minor issue: when I opened multiple Cloud Phones simultaneously and registered, the first one succeeded, but the next ones wouldn't receive the verification code or the connection would fail. I can't determine the cause and am planning to try registering again after a while.

Thank you, could you try using a commercial or free VPN (like Mullvad) in place of the residential proxy for a account? This would help me since I do not have access to residential proxies and would like to know if I need to buy some before.

I don't know.
I'm trying to resolve the verification issue when sending messages on Signal, so I can handle batch sending.

Probably you need something like 2captcha or similar to solve the captcha.

Yes, I'm looking for help with this.
My Signal desktop app uses third-party software, a social media integration.
If I use 2CAPTCHA to solve the verification problem, I first need to use a script to automate it.
If I use third-party software, the first thing I need is a script that simulates the operation.

I believe it can be done with python, If you still need help with development we could chat on XMPP.

I've never used XMPP before, so I don't know how to download and install it and find you.
I'm currently using the signal-cli-rest-api, but honestly, I'm just a newbie. I can only use AI assistance, lol
 
Yes, you can create a Signal account on an Android Studio emulator, but it’s not always stable sometimes verification hangs depending on the number. Signal isn’t as strict on device fingerprints as WhatsApp, but if you keep routing through Tor/proxies it can look suspicious. Best practice is to match the proxy location with the phone number you’re registering. A clean mobile proxy usually works better than Tor.
 
I tried using Tor before, but Signal often blocks it, so a normal mobile proxy works more reliably
 
You are going to have to spoof some fingerprints if you plan on making those types of accounts. In addition, you will also need a 4g rotating proxy. Everytime your create an account, you have to rotate the proxy.

Its similar to email you select a provider sign up then select a client and login and you can message others encrypted using OMEMO or OTR (these have to be supported by your client) popular clients are gajim and pidgin, server providers can be found with some google search.

Thank you, this is what I needed to know :-)

Would it not be fine for small scale? Without spoofing I mean, just normal android studio with 4g proxy other comment indicates this can work.
