Trying out GitHub's mobile interface, doesn't allow me to squash commits, though. Anyway, just a suggestion for some changes, perhaps, cf. Google Play store now changing how updates are handled recently. Feel free to delete/remove this PR if you have your own commit in the pipeline (or a better way of accomplishing this), I waive ownership of these two commits in this PR. Thanks for all your hard work on this app! I have only used it recently to check signatures, and it seems like it has so many useful features! Cheers.

in general, the installer that matters most imo is whether it's installed by one of the whyte list installers (like Google play or Google drive, or if it detects its from a whyte listed "app store" type of program, or installed by some kind of compliant split APK installer) in which case you don't have to do the accessibility app info thing to gain accessibility access when you install or upgrade it.

this program does show the permission in app ops list (accessibility something or other) but can't change them even with adb, iirc. maybe you could sort by that permission status as an idea here, for user apps most likely.

@MuntashirAkon Sorry to ping, but if I end up building and testing this once I get a dev environment set up, is there something else I should work on for a patch like this? I do not really know how to add in placeholders for the translation strings (and if anyone else has suggestions or can build upon this functionality, feel free!). Thanks!
