Verify app installation
To verify if the process of installing an app “as Google Play Store” went correctly, check as following:

Settings => Apps => See all apps => Name of installed App => Store (at the bottom)
There you should see either of following, App installed from … messages:
Google Play Store – On devices with Google Play Store enabled
FakeStore – On devices with MicroG (Google Play Store stub)

Shizuku Recommendation
For optimal performance and better stability, it is strongly recommended to use Shizuku Next (available on GitHub here). This variant starts up much more easily and reliably stays active even after rebooting your smartphone, preventing service disconnection issues

What’s New:
Split APK support, in-app updates, a universal root-unlock shortcut — and a big cleanup of what never worked.

✨ New
Split APKs (.xapk / .apks / .apkm) — open, extract and install multi-part bundles and OBB files across all methods (Classic, Shizuku, Root), with smart pre-selection of the right ABI / density / language and a one-tap “Select all”. Split apps can also be reinstalled from the in-app installer checker.

Note: split apps can’t be made Android Auto–visible — a multi-APK bundle can’t get the Play Store “Requested by” source. A dialog explains this (with a “don’t show again” option).

Direct in-app update — KingInstaller downloads its own update APK and launches the install in one tap.
XLauncher shortcut — a new “Universal AA unlock (XLauncher)” entry in the ⋮ menu. And if the Root method can’t make an app Android Auto–visible, KingInstaller now suggests XLauncher Unlocked (an Xposed/LSPosed module that unlocks every AA app regardless of installer).

Improvements
Android 13+ robustness — several fixes so the system installer opens reliably on Android 13+ (dynamic binder signature resolution, synchronous Shizuku UserService connection with a safe fallback, Background-Activity-Launch workaround, correct installer resolution). Shizuku-Next compatible.
On a rooted device, after a non-compatible install the Root method is now offered too (not just Shizuku/Classic).
Updating/reinstalling an already-installed app now shows the result feedback.
The diagnostic log is also auto-saved to the public Downloads folder.
Docs updated with the Xiaomi/POCO/HyperOS Developer-Options steps required for Shizuku.

Removed / Fixed
Removed the post-install installer fix: on modern Android the set-installer is blocked by a signature check for every uid, so it never worked — the installer is now set at install time.
Removed the unneeded MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE prompt and trimmed superfluous install-intent extras (fewer conflicts on custom ROMs like MIUI).
Fixed an EPIPE error during root split installs and a Shizuku UserService crash.

⚠️ Enable Unknown sources in Android Auto’s developer settings. Split-installed apps are a convenience and won’t appear in Android Auto.
