I think it depends on the app though. I use obtainium and it can download and update Firefox Nightly without any input from me, but for Mastodon I need to manually download and install it
i was wondering what’s up with that, so i took a look at the source code of aurora, and it seems they don’t even call the requireUserAction thing that’s supposed to disable the prompt. As far as I can tell it should just always require the prompt the way the app is built now. Wonder why it doesn’t do it for me then.
Wow, nice digging. That is so bizarre. If I were you, I’d check to make sure that you do get thT prompt normally with other apps, since that might be a security hazard.
If you mean unattended, they already do since Android 12.
Apps do need to implement the functionality manually, but it seems pretty simple.
Looks like Aurora already has, it just updated Discord for me while my phone was off.
Is your phone rooted? I have Aurora as well and it still has to harass me to give permission for every update. I’m on Android 14.
It’s not. I am on GrapheneOS though, also Android 14, but I don’t think that should make a difference here.
Maybe the flavour of Android you’re running decided to do things a bit differently? I honestly don’t know

I tried specifically with discord because they mentioned discord and it didn’t work.
hmm that’s weird.
