How this app uses Shizuku

This installer replacement routes its package operations through Shizuku so they run with shell privileges.

Install full and split apps: APKs picked from files, downloads or existing packages are staged into a PackageInstaller session and committed through Shizuku, including split APK handling, test and downgrade installs, and reinstalling existing packages.
Archive and uninstall apps: an installed app can be backed up to a ZIP archive and optionally uninstalled while keeping data, using the system archive and uninstall flow through Shizuku plus cache cleanup.
Enable or disable apps: an installed app can be enabled or disabled for the user through the system app state setting via Shizuku.
Become default installer: the app clears competing installer defaults and registers itself for package file types so future installs open in it, using the system preferred activity settings through Shizuku.
Launch installed apps: newly installed apps are opened through the system activity service acting as shell via Shizuku.
Skip install verification: ADB install verification is turned off in global system settings through Shizuku before installing.
