Dianne, many thanks for the response... Let me change the question a little bit. So if silent installation is not possible for SDK/NDK applications, is it possible in anyway to achieve silent installation? i.e. if I can partner with phone OEM, who can either take my application and sign it or include it as part of system apps. Can my application then have permissions to install other applications silently?
