I think you could still adb install unverified apps into your phone.
That untill they'll block that path too.
Also I suppose that you'll need to adb every update. So apps that would want to go this way should self check updates instead of relying on an external store.
What's adb?
Android Debug Bridge. It is a way to control the device via command line, mainly from an external computer. Among other things allows for app installation. It's one of the main ways to test and debug apps while being developed.
Oh okay, thanks.
Do you think obtanium + shizuku could help uptating the apps with less attrition?
