What’s Play Store?
Oh yeah, that stuff I access with Aurora because it can’t run on my deGoogled cellphone…
Do they not already? I’m fucking tired of the Play Store “updating” the sideloaded version of the Kindle app (the one that comes from the Amazon App Store and lets you actually buy ebooks) to the version on Google Play (which only lets you read ebooks you bought outside the app).
Does the update fail?
You should get a message that you can’t install it and to try again.
Nope it does it in the background all on its own and it completes it just fine unfortunately. I found how to disable automatic updates for a specific app now though, so at least I won’t have to worry about it anymore.
No, thanks. Here’s an idea Google - how about you keep your greedy paws off the apps I install from different sources, since I have good reasons for doing so?
There’s plenty of good reasons to transfer update ownership to the Play Store, too. Besides, it’s optional. Options are a good thing to have.

I’m interested, can you give a few examples?

That’s true, until it’s not an option because a “bug” converts your apps to play store builds, and until this option gains a non-optional feature that nags you every x days to googlify your apps and expects that at some point you will either accept or misclick it. This is not something unheard of, play protect already does this.
