Hello. I've been using Mitch for a while and I love the app. I'm curious if you have any plans for adding other install methods like Shizuku or root. It'd be a great addition in my opinion. Some other software like Neo Store or Tachiyomi(and forks) has it and it really enhances the experience. Thanks for the effort by the way, your program is a life saver.

I could do this, my app installation code was written with multiple possible installers in mind. However, I don’t have root on my phone so I won’t be able to test that method at least.

Next time I get around to working on Mitch, my priority will be to update to a higher SDK level, this will enable automatic APK updates on Android 12 or later without root or any external tools. (I’m open to implementing other methods, for the sake of older Android versions, but as I said, testing might be an issue).

I see. I'm not an Android expert but I think Shizuku doesn't require root. At least not for everything. I believe it has multiple methods to work with, all accomplishing the same results.
