Kilgore TroutTo call the install of apps of your choice as «sideloading», means that they have won.
zarkanianThat’s the name of the command, though. It’s
adb sideload. Anything else is installing.
That’s not even true. If you install an app through adb, the command is adb install <path/to/app.apk>
adb sideload is for installing OTA packages
I don’t know if adb sideload will fallback to a regular install, maybe it does as a convenience for people who don’t read the docs? In any case, you said:
That’s the name of the command, though.
And I demonstrated that you’re wrong by linking to the official man page (aka the docs) directly from the master branch of the public git repo. Here’s the relevant part which describes the sideload command:
sideload OTAPACKAGE Sideload the given full OTA package OTAPACKAGE.
idc what those stupid docs say. i know i installed apps with that command before
