## Libraries
Core F-Droid functionality is split into re-usable libraries
to make using F-Droid technology in your own projects as easy as possible.

## FAQ
* Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its
own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar
to what Google Play does.
* Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a
privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the [Privileged
2016-09-27 06:17:54 +02:00
Extension](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension) is the one that should be placed in
2018-08-30 22:48:21 +02:00
the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip.
