Any system app store can do those things.
- heavyset_go 6y agoMillions of phones are sold that will never be rooted, and by manufacturers who purposely ensure that exploits to achieve root are patched as soon as they're found.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThe statement that I quoted is false. The Amazon App Store can do those things on Amazon devices. The Samsung App Store can do those things on Samsung devices. Same with Tencent, Huawei, MIUI, the defunct Motorola app store, etc. I fully agree that it would be better if user-installed apps could do the same thing without resorting to accessibility hacks. Google has mumbled that it might finally prioritize that feature after the Epic lawsuits, but I'll wait and see. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/09/listening-to-developer-feedback-to.html?m=1 https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/09/listening-...
