Description

I use LineageOS for MicroG and do not need to have root or magisk on my phone.

AccA is the only reason why I thought about installing magisk. But I noticed that if I do, my banking app would stop working and unfortunately, magisk-hide would not help. This is why I opted for living without magisk and AccA.

If there was a way to install AccA as a system app using a zip file flashable in TWRP, that would solve the problem. I guess it could work pretty much like the [f-droid privileged extension](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension) installer zip, the microG installer zip from [MinMicroG](https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG) or the zip installers from [NanoDroid](https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid).

I have come across some of [Lanchon's work](https://github.com/Lanchon), some of which might be helpful.

Research direction

Start by reviewing AccA's current Android packaging and installation flow, then compare the flashable installers referenced in the issue: F-Droid's privileged extension, MinMicroG, and NanoDroid. Done means defining and implementing a TWRP-flashable zip that installs AccA as a system app without requiring Magisk.
