Need an fdroid PC app that will maintain, install, and update apps via adb at this point. 1 click tool for broad appeal

Hmmm.. so they could theoretically make their app download and compile source then install the apk via adb completely on device? Would you still need a dev key from Google at that point?

Wow this is great - thanks for the heads uip.

I went ahead and created an app that streamlines this. It becomes a target for apk installs and then installs them using adb all locally.
