Installing updates in the background requires special permissions that require google's blessing. For now, the workaround is a Magisk/Xposed/Lsposed module to give those low level permissions to the F-Droid app.
- derkades 4y agoNot anymore since Android 12. As far as I know, if the installation (or update) of app A through app B is approved once, app B is now free to update app A in the background without a prompt.
- MishaalRahman 4y agoNot automatically. It requires the use of a (new in Android 12) API. But you're otherwise right.
- charcircuit 4y agoYes, but F-Droid isn't on the play store so it wouldn't matter if they get Google's blessing to upload the app to the Play Store. They can just distribute the app with background installing capabilities from their website like they already do.
