Google is working on a change that may let users install updates for sideloaded apps right from the Play Store.

Can we allow unintended installation for third party AppStore’s like fdroid and aurora tho
If you mean unattended, they already do since Android 12.
Apps do need to implement the functionality manually, but it seems pretty simple.
Looks like Aurora already has, it just updated Discord for me while my phone was off.

It’s not. I am on GrapheneOS though, also Android 14, but I don’t think that should make a difference here.
Maybe the flavour of Android you’re running decided to do things a bit differently? I honestly don’t know
I think it depends on the app though. I use obtainium and it can download and update Firefox Nightly without any input from me, but for Mastodon I need to manually download and install it

hmm that’s weird.
i was wondering what’s up with that, so i took a look at the source code of aurora, and it seems they don’t even call the requireUserAction thing that’s supposed to disable the prompt. As far as I can tell it should just always require the prompt the way the app is built now. Wonder why it doesn’t do it for me then.

It’s already a feature since android 12 like the other user said. Try droidify if fdroid doesn’t do background updates for you.
