## What it is
Core Patch N is an Xposed module that modifies Android's package manager service to bypass installation restrictions. It disables APK signature verification, allows app downgrades, and removes other package installation checks on Android 9+.

## Use cases
- disable apk signature verification on android
- install downgraded app versions over newer ones
- bypass android package installation restrictions
- install modified or resigned apks without signature errors
- xposed module to patch package manager checks

## When to choose
- you already run an Xposed framework with libxposed API 101 support
- you need to sideload modified or downgraded APKs that fail signature checks
- you want to bypass Android 9+ installation restrictions

## When to avoid
- you have no rooted device or Xposed framework installed
- you need a security-hardened setup, since disabling signature checks weakens device integrity
- you target Android versions below 9
