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.
Can we allow unintended installation for third party AppStore’s like fdroid and aurora tho
It’s already a feature since android 12 like the other user said. Try droidify if fdroid doesn’t do background updates for you.
If you mean unattended, they already do since Android 12.
Apps do need to implement the functionality manually, but it seems pretty simple.

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
