I’m on Android 13. The following installation methods are available in Aurora Store, and all except Root produce confirmation popups.

Session installer            ⚫

Session based installer for bundled/split APKs
Recommended, in-built and supports all Android versions

Native installer (Deprecated)       ⚫

Intent based installer, available on all devices
Best suited for devices running below Android 4.4

Root installer                 🔘

Shell based installer using root permissions
Requires root/superuser privileges, supports all Android versions.

If the permission is granted, the native/session APK installer still handles every install and update, including its “Do you want to install/update this app?” popup. Only root and system apps can do installs and updates silently.

It probably will have to to satisfy anti-monopoly rulings: allow app installation to be as seamless as Play Store (which has root access or similar).

An item on my bucket list has been to create a map with “gradients” (really just 1-minute bands) of what time the high noon is in that location. This map is just a subset of that, coloring red the areas with an over-30-minute offset. I’d make one for January and one for July to account for DST on both hemispheres.

I’ll probably convert a publicly available timezone shapefile into a Plate Carée (or similar) projection SVG, create a bitmap “gradient” spanning the entire globe and then use it as texture for the SVG shapes, horizontally offset appropriately.
