App 2.18.0: install from a USB stick
Settings -> App -> "Install from USB stick" (car build only). It looks in the top folder of every mounted volume (found from the app's own folder on it, since the head unit has no file picker) for NilsMG4-unstable-<version>.apk, takes the newest one newer than the installed version, checks it against its .sha256 sidecar and the package name, and installs it with the same PackageInstaller session as the over-the-air update. The stable build gets a stub and no button. Tested on the emulator: 2.18.0 installed a 2.18.1 from the storage's top folder without a confirmation, as the system user, so the OTA install step should not need one either.

## Installing from a USB stick
|
||||
|
||||
For development, without the forge: copy `NilsMG4-unstable-<version>.apk` **and** its `.sha256`
|
||||
from `build/car/` to the top folder of a USB stick, plug it in, and press **Install from USB
|
||||
stick** on the Settings tab. The app takes the newest such file that is newer than the installed
|
||||
version, checks it against the `.sha256`, checks the package, and installs it with the same
|
||||
installer session as an over-the-air update. The car build only; the stable build has no button.
|
||||
|
||||
On the Android 9 emulator (car build, system user) this installed without asking, from the
|
||||
storage's top folder; on the car the stick's top folder is used the same way.
