So basically: If you’ve done at least 1 update using a third-party appstore for an app, it automatically give permission for third-party appstores to update that particular app for future updates, without prompting the user.
Edit: wait, I just googled it and apparantly, you could already allow third party app stores do silents updates since android 12. The android 14 update is basically just allowing the third party app store that first installs the app to become the “Update Owner” to block other app stores (including Google Play) from updating the owns under the third-party store’s “ownership”.
So I think you could already do that on any device Android 12 or later. Just try to do an update using the app, then wait for the next update to see if the update prompt goes away, which it should go away.
I’m on Android 13. The following installation methods are available in Aurora Store, and all except Root produce confirmation popups.
Ah so its has to be a new Android 14 feature.

Makes sense, as the ruling is fairly recent. What do Aurora Store’s options look like to you?
