    No, that would just require the permisson for the Epic Store to install APKs to be granted out of the box, no need for it to be a system app for that

      If the permission is granted, the native/session APK installer still handles every install and update, including its “Do you want to install/update this app?” popup. Only root and system apps can do installs and updates silently.

        Huh? I’m pretty sure fdroid did a silent update without asking me. I think Aurora store also did silent updates. I mean, I still have to allow it once, then afterwards it didn’t need my permission.

        What android version are you on? I’m on the latest Android 14.
