Someone has remotely used Google developer cloud, and Claude flair to install over 250 to 1000 APIs and other bugs Hugh loggers you name it they’ve installed it on every android device that I own
Description
Some apps get a restriction based on how they were installed:
This doesn't serve any purpose for security. Using an Intent to reach the OS in order to install APK files doesn't pose any threat on users and isn't more secure than using thew newer session API (
PackageInstaller).I know the
ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGEis deprecated, but it's not something that needs a lot of management, is easy to use, and it's what almost all apps still use, including all of the built-in apps and of Google itself (web browsers, chatting apps, file management apps)...Even the docs are outdated about where to find how to use the new session API, reported here:
Please remove these restrictions.
If I'm wrong, please use the new session API as what's being used for the old Intent API. You can also improve it on the way, and make all apps of Android and Google to use the new way (either session API or the old one that got better).
Alternatively, please update all the built-in apps of Android and of Google to use the new sessions API.
