Option to ignore the fact that the app is signed with a different certificate #646

Open parasiteoflife opened 9 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have some apps installed through the Play Store and those apps are also available on F-Droid and some other repos but currently they can't be updated through Droid-ify because they are signed with different certificates. I also happen to have installed the Core Patch xposed module so this is a non-issue.

Describe the solution you'd like An option to ignore such warnings and try to install the app anyways.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can't uninstall the apps (which are a lot) because I will lose all data on them. I've considered backing up and restoring the data but that would be such amount of work (because I don't have enough free space to batch backup all the apps in one go) that is really not needed as I can install apps signed with different certificates.

Additional context This is specially needed when you set up your own repo and sign the APKs with your own key, which is my case.

Afaik this isn't possible

Yes it is impossible, it is Android system related, and it's a good thing to avoid malwares

yes it is possible! this user is stating that he is using the CorePatch Xposed module which allows precisely that.

Yeah, it's getting increasingly obnoxious how even apps from official sources randomly decide to use a different signature or even package name, usually when they offer variants for GitHub, F-Droid and/or Play Store 🤦
