[enhancement] Don't delete downloaded apk optionally

[MichaelZ4714]

I would like to have an option so that the apk will not be deleted after install when enabled.

Also it'd be useful to keep APKs that didn't get a chance to be installed for whatever reason (like Obtainium getting updated, which kills the app, or downloading an update and rebooting without internet)

Obtainium getting updated, which kills the app

Have you seen this happen? Obtainium is supposed to be moved to the end of the line when there are multiple updates so it is always the last to be updated. But if you've seen this, then there must be a bug somewhere.

One thing to note is we now have a "download release asset" button which might help with some use cases.

I noticed not long ago, though I'm not sure if I was on an old version where Obtainium didn't move itself to the end of the queue. I'll keep an eye out for the next update.

On a side note, is there a way to start updating apps as soon as the APK is downloaded, even if other apps haven't finished downloading? That could lower the chance of having to redownload APKs in case something stopped the process, in addition to speeding things up.

[ImranR98]

Not currently. But APKs aren't actually deleted until the app gets installed.

Weird, yesterday I added an app, which couldn't be installed because of a (signature?) conflict. So I enabled the CorePatch signature verification Xposed module, but when I rebooted and had no internet connection, Obtainium was stuck updating until I connected to the internet (no conflict anymore since CorePatch disables update restrictions without having to uninstall, to keep app data) 🤔

Hmm, would need to look into that.
