Description

Used the debloater to uninstall some system apps, they get removed but when the app gets installed from Play Store, it gets installed as a system app again.

Research direction

The issue describes apps reinstalling as system apps after debloating. Start by examining the ADB command logic for uninstalling packages, likely in the core debloater module. Check how the tool tracks removed apps and whether it prevents reinstallation with system privileges. Look at the GUI code handling reinstall events from the Play Store. Testing will require an Android device or emulator to reproduce the behavior.
