## What it is
Phantom is an Android plugin framework from Manbang Group that enables hot updates and dynamic loading of plugin APKs without pre-registering components in the host manifest. It uses a zero-hook approach for broad compatibility across Android 4.0 through Android Q.

## Use cases
- load feature modules as plugin APKs without releasing a new host app
- hot-update parts of an Android app without going through the store
- add new activities and services to a host app without manifest changes
- split a large Android app into independently deployable plugins
- run plugin code with minimal hooking for maximum OS compatibility

## When to choose
- you need a stable, battle-tested Android plugin framework with zero hooks
- you want to support adding new plugins or components without updating the host app
- you need compatibility across a wide range of Android versions including recent ones
- you want low integration cost with only a few lines of setup

## When to avoid
- your plugins need ContentProvider support, which Phantom does not provide
- you target only modern Android with native dynamic feature modules or Play Feature Delivery
- the project appears to be in maintenance mode with the last release in 2019
- you need a framework with active community development and recent updates
