## What it is
Universal Installer is an open-source Android package manager app built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose that installs APK, APKS, XAPK, and APKM packages including split APKs and OBB files. It supports silent installation via Shizuku/Dhizuku, VirusTotal malware scanning, installer profiles, LAN APK sharing, and runs on phones and Android TV.

## Use cases
- install xapk files with obb data on android
- install split apks bundles that the default installer rejects
- silent install apks without prompts using shizuku
- scan apk files for malware with virustotal before installing
- manage and share installed apps over lan wifi
- install apkm files from apkmirror on android tv
- fix app not installed errors when sideloading packages

## When to choose
- you need to install split APK formats (XAPK, APKS, APKM) the system installer can't handle
- you want silent/privileged installs via Shizuku, Dhizuku, or root
- you want malware scanning and installer profiles in a free, ad-free open-source app
- you need an installer optimized for Android TV with remote navigation

## When to avoid
- you only install standard single APK files and are happy with the system installer
- you need an iOS or desktop package installer
- you require a no-GUI command-line or automated CI installation pipeline
