APKUpdater OSS

An open-source Android app that helps find, download, and install updates for apps outside a single store. Gathers information from multiple sources, groups results by app, and lets you choose the appropriate update option.

Forked from the original APKUpdater by rumboalla. Installs as com.apkupdateross and can coexist with the original APKUpdater.
