I'm currently developing an app mainly for WearOS which needs a phone companion to work. Due to the phone app needing quite powerful permissions (BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) I'll not have a good time releasing this on the PlayStore.

I want to release it open source on GitHub. This means I'll have the hassle of explaining the user how to sideload a WearOS app.

Is there a way to remotely install the WearOS app from within the phone app?

  • I haven't used it, but https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freepoc.wearinstaller&hl=en&gl=US Or you could follow same approach, but it might require adb permissions, which might mean developer mode. I don't think this approach would be pleasant or recommended, but at least users must opt into this. – Yuri Schimke Dec 14 '22 at 09:09
