Línea de trabajo

Start by reading Cloudstream’s in-app updater and the Shizuku API documentation linked in the issue, then compare how Droid-ify performs silent installs. The issue describes the desired behavior but names no Cloudstream files or tests. Done means users with Shizuku authorized can optionally install updates silently, while the existing update method remains available.

Description

I would like to request the addition of Shizuku support as an installation and update method within Cloudstream.

Currently, updating Cloudstream—especially when using the frequently updated pre-release versions—requires manually downloading the APK and going through the system installation prompt every time. Having a silent update option via Shizuku would significantly improve the user experience.

What is Shizuku?

Shizuku is a tool that allows apps to use system-level APIs with root-like privileges (via adb or root) without actually requiring a fully rooted device. It runs securely in the background and lets authorized apps perform privileged tasks, such as package installation and updates, completely in the background without user intervention for each step.

Inspiration / Example

A great reference for this implementation is Droid-ify (or similar modern package managers). Droid-ify successfully utilizes Shizuku to install and update applications silently in the background without popping up the system installation confirmation dialog every single time.

Why this is beneficial for Cloudstream

Frequent Pre-Releases: Cloudstream pre-releases receive updates often. Manually downloading and clicking through the package installer gets repetitive very quickly.

Seamless Experience: Users with Shizuku set up could update the app with a single tap (or even automatically), mirroring the convenience of mainstream app stores.

Optional Feature: This can be implemented as an optional setting alongside the traditional in-app updater, only activating if Shizuku is running and granted permission.

Thank you for your hard work on Cloudstream! Let me know what you think about this idea.
