5.0.0

Deprecated!

SimpleInstaller is deprecated in favor of Ackpine, a robust package installer library with more rich API. SimpleInstaller won't receive updates anymore.

• Remove deprecated methods.
• Remove intrusive behavior of DEFERRED confirmation: dismissing keyguard, using full-screen intent. USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT and DISABLE_KEYGUARD permissions were removed. Also it allowed to make DEFERRED confirmation's behavior consistent on old and new Android versions, as on old versions full-screen intent behaved like IMMEDIATE confirmation.
• Enable vibration and lights for library's notification channel.
• Bump compileSdk to 34.
• Update androidx.lifecycle to 2.6.2.
• Update Gradle to 8.5.
• Update AGP to 8.2.0.
• Update Kotlin to 1.9.21.
