So, I’ve heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and…

So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it’s timer to finish, close it and… Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad.

Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.

But xmanager is not providing the apk, so the project doesn’t do anything illegal.

Also if you root your phone (not illegal for some devices) you can install any app from the store and the apk is just there… on your device, which you can then patch.

Yes that’s completely legal. It’s just illegal to download it from somewhere else. You don’t even need root to get the APK.
