mobileorg and encryption

mobileorg and encryption

[John Hendy]

I have the following in emacs config:

(setq org-mobile-use-encryption t)
(setq org-mobile-encryption-password "password")

I installed android privacy guard on the phone, and can verify that
staged files are encrypted... but I don't see how to decrypt in the
app. The documentation states
(https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/wiki):
-----
Decrypting encrypted org files via integration with Android Privacy
Guard. Encrypted files must end in one of three file extensions: gpg,
enc, or pgp.
-----

But doesn't this imply that org-mode needs to change the file
extensions from .org to .gpg when staging the files? Mine still end in
.org, but are indeed encrypted. Or do I need to change my actual org
files in my main computer repository to be .gpg's as well and this
will result in staged files having .gpg extensions?


Thanks,
John

Not what you asked, but in the iphone client, the files are encrypted
in place with the same name, with no Gnupg/etc. used.
It seems the android version is different, and I would think one would
need to specify the flavor on the emacs side.
