The OTA downloaded + verified the new APK and committed a PackageInstaller
session, but never handled STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION (which Android 13+ returns
for non-device-owner installers) — so the session stalled and the update never
installed. Reproduced on an Android 13 emulator: device stayed on the old version.
- UpdateChecker: register a receiver for the session's INSTALL_COMPLETE broadcast;
on PENDING_USER_ACTION launch the system confirm dialog (and log SUCCESS).
- PowerAccessibilityService: when the package-installer dialog appears, auto-click
the confirm button (by id, then label) so unattended kiosk screens update
without a human tap. Scoped strictly to the package installer.
Verified end-to-end on Android 13: device auto-updated 1.7.10 -> 1.7.11 with no
interaction (receiver launched the dialog, accessibility confirmed it). Ships as
1.7.10 (also carries the Android 14+ crash + YouTube 152 fixes).
NOTE: existing 1.7.7 devices still need a one-time manual reinstall to reach a
build that has this fix; from 1.7.10 onward OTA is fully automatic.
Rebuilds and redistributes the player APK so the fixes actually reach devices:
- #5 Android 14+ mediaProjection FGS crash (committed in source but the SERVED
ScreenTinker.apk was a stale 1.7.7 build from before it — modern devices
couldn't launch the app at all).
- YouTube error 152 (embed base domain).
versionCode 11->12, versionName 1.7.8->1.7.9, VERSION file 1.7.7->1.7.9 so the
update check offers it; signed with the same release key (OTA signature check
passes). Verified on a Pixel 10 / Android 16 emulator: launches without crashing,
YouTube plays.
