Could you build this?
No An alternative Android app repository client requires deep Android OS internals knowledge, package installer APIs (PackageInstaller session management, unattended updates via privileged extensions), and strict cryptographic repository verification.
What it would actually take: Requires native Android (Kotlin) development interfacing with Android's PackageInstaller APIs, root/shizuku helpers, and custom background sync services. Hard aspects include cryptographic signature verification of index v1/v2 repos, delta APK downloads, managing unattended background updates across varied OEM Android battery-killer policies, and maintaining zero-telemetry security compliance.
