BlackBox is an Android virtual engine library that can clone and run applications in a virtualized container without installing their APKs, giving the host app control over the virtualized instances. The project has been dissolved and deleted by its author following controversy affecting other developers.

Use cases

  • run apps without installing them on Android
  • clone apps into a sandboxed virtual container
  • build a parallel-space style app cloner
  • control and manage virtualized Android applications programmatically
  • run multiple instances of the same app on one device

When to choose

  • you need an Android virtual app engine and can accept an unmaintained codebase
  • you want to study how virtual app containerization works on Android

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained, supported virtualization library
  • you want a project with an active community or license
  • you need production reliability or security updates
