The Android Debug Bridge, or ADB for short, is a handy development tool to interface with your phone for debugging and testing. Through ADB, developers and power users can access Android’s built-in Linux command line shell with greater privileges than user-installed apps. Notably, the ADB shell privilege is not equal to superuser access, hence you might still need to root your device to take complete control of the OS. However, depending on your modding requirements, the shell access is sufficient to grant or deny permissions, change system settings values, and do much more. This is where the Shizuku app comes into […]
Saved you a click: “In a nutshell, if an app needs special permissions that can only be granted through ADB (or with root), you can just use Shizuku to grant them right from your Android device.”
No. Kinda…some apps can auto update via an alternative client but apps that target old android versions for compatibility purposes and to allow people to keep using their old phones aren’t allowed to auto update and instead require to be installed manually. Basically, a problem to lot open source apps since they want to serve the maximum of users, not force them to buy a new phone.
I don’t know at which version this start affecting the app but knowing Google it’s some bullshit random version like 9 or something.

AFAIK this is not all. Doesn’t Shizuku allow apps to also execute shell commands with higher privilege?
It allows you to connect your wireless debugging to your phone itself, so technically you can do anything on your phone you could from your pc.

There’s some seriously cool things you can do with Shizuku and adb:

Aren’t auto updates a solved problem? It’s only the official f-droid client that doesn’t support this.
First, it’s not like f-droid devs weren’t trying.
