How Shizuku is used

Can install, uninstall, check and force-stop mod apps silently via Shizuku with `IPackageInstaller` and `IActivityManager`.

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

Shizuku lets BHub manage mod apps with system privileges when the Shizuku installer mode is selected in settings. The app reaches privileged package services through Shizuku instead of showing system install dialogs.

Install downloaded apps: downloaded APK files chosen from version lists or the download queue are installed silently through a privileged install session that allows replacing, downgrading and test builds.
Reinstall apps: a reinstall first removes the existing package and then installs the newly downloaded APK through the same privileged path.
Uninstall apps: packages the user deletes from version lists are removed silently through the privileged uninstall path.
Check installed versions: installed version codes, version names, install presence and install location are read through the privileged package service to show update state, warn about downgrades and refresh lists.
Force-stop apps: target apps are force-stopped through the privileged activity service as part of installing or managing packages.

Android APIs or commands used

Notable details

The app can also work without Shizuku in a non-privileged installer mode using the normal install flow. Shizuku mode is an optional choice in settings.
