TL;DR

  • Android 16 introduces “seamless app updates” to make installing app updates faster and less disruptive.
  • This feature significantly reduces the time an app is frozen during an update, cutting it from seconds to milliseconds.
  • The improvement is achieved by running optimization scripts earlier in the installation process, reducing app downtime.

      That’s exactly what happens on android.

      You need to re-optimize the dex file, and re-compile the odex file to native code for performance.

        Yes, but that shouldn’t have anything to do with downtime. This is exactly what happens when you install something from source à la any -git package from AUR. It’s slower than installing binaries, but downtime is a completely different issue. Am I missing something?

          Downtime in this context means the time where you can’t use the application while its update is being installed

          This process was not started until the app was frozen until android 16. This added a few seconds to every app install.
