Android Question Android App Self-Destruct

[mmieher]

Is there a way yet to uninstall App on all the unrooted devices out there? Foreground would be ideal.

1.
Manifest editor:

AddPermission(android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES)

2.

Private Sub Button1_Click
    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize("android.intent.action.UNINSTALL_PACKAGE", "package:" & Application.PackageName)
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

Of course it works. I am still on the fence about it asking for PERMISSION. Does App have to ask?

It was also educational for me, that in DEBUG, "uninstalling" just means I need to Clean before next run.

as it is not a dangerous permission and you do not use runtimepermissions at all (not needed) it seems to be an Android permission-system.
It is the user (not the app) which have to decide to accept permission or not.
You can not overcome this i guess.

Accept the things you cannot change.
