Another version released while I was checking this out! Be on the lookout for a new post :)

Hi again! Recently, I noticed Sainsbury’s released a new version of SmartShop on their handsets - 4.57.0.

As usual, I tried to get the APK so I could look into what changed. But it seems they broke one of the ways to escape the app :(

Maybe the devs finally found out people can escape¹? Either way, I got the APK for my collection².

Hi. Been doing things so I may as well write.

Over the past few months I’ve been on and off looking into Sainsbury’s SmartShop. This post is a look at how I got started.

I do skip details though, so if you’re looking to implement just keep that in mind.

What is SmartShop?

SmartShop is an app by the UK retailer Sainsbury’s, meant to make shopping quick and easy. You scan items while shopping, pay at a checkout and leave.
