Google is working on a change that may let users install updates for sideloaded apps right from the Play Store.

    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

      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 tried specifically with discord because they mentioned discord and it didn’t work.

          hmm that’s weird.

          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.

            Wow, nice digging. That is so bizarre. If I were you, I’d check to make sure that you do get thT prompt normally with other apps, since that might be a security hazard.
