Description

**Describe the bug**
When the person owning a Google account turns 13 (or a different age in some jurisdictions), they can remove the link to their supervisor. This reinstalls all the apps removed with UAD.

**Expected behavior**
Apps stay uninstalled even after removing supervision.

**You have a solution?**
No. I doubt you can do much. It might be an issue on Google's side.

Research direction

The issue describes a problem with Google account supervision changes causing reinstalled apps. Research the ADB commands and app state tracking in the Rust codebase, particularly around how the tool marks apps as removed and persists that state. Look for any handling of Google account events or supervision status. Understanding Android's package manager behavior and account lifecycle is key to assessing feasibility.
