[Feature request] Installing as a system app using a flashable zip without magisk.

[amo13]

I use LineageOS for MicroG and do not need to have root or magisk on my phone.

AccA is the only reason why I thought about installing magisk. But I noticed that if I do, my banking app would stop working and unfortunately, magisk-hide would not help. This is why I opted for living without magisk and AccA.

If there was a way to install AccA as a system app using a zip file flashable in TWRP, that would solve the problem. I guess it could work pretty much like the f-droid privileged extension installer zip, the microG installer zip from MinMicroG or the zip installers from NanoDroid.

I have come across some of Lanchon's work, some of which might be helpful.

Hi, I'm in a very similar situation, but I'm not sure this can be the solution. System apps can get more priviledges, but not all priviledges, it's not the same as root. Also if you have TWRP you can manually put an old version of .apk in /system/app and than upgrade it from f-droid (I have used this method for bromite webview on my old smartphone).

As @paolo-caroni said, installing AccA as a system app is not enough. System apps don't have root access. Without root, acc won't work.

I'm exploring the possibility of having a kernel patcher flashable zip for acc. This would work by making the kernel initialize acc. That way, acc would inherit elevated privileges from the kernel.
