Pressing INSTALL closed the application, installed nothing and said nothing. That is two independent faults in one method, either of which breaks it on its own, and they hid each other: the first kills the process before the second can be observed, and the second is silent by construction. The pending intent handed to commit was implicit — an action string with no component behind it. A mutable pending intent may not wrap one of those from API 34, and this head targets 36, so every current phone threw IllegalArgumentException before commit was reached. Nothing caught it, so it left the command handler, passed the dispatcher and took the process with it. That is the closing. Below 34, where it did not throw, it still installed nothing. An application holding REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES rather than the privileged INSTALL_PACKAGES gets no verdict back from a commit: what the platform answers first is STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION, carrying the activity that draws the dialogue in EXTRA_INTENT for the application to start. Android does not draw it on its own. The comment here asserted the opposite — that a pending intent is required whether or not anything listens, and that nothing needed to — so no receiver was ever written, and the session was written, committed and left staged forever. So there is a receiver now, not exported because the only sender is this application's own commit, and the intent naming it is explicit, which is the same change that stops the throw. Sessions are abandoned when anything fails, since one created and neither committed nor abandoned stays staged against a per-application cap — a repeating fault would have started failing at CreateSession instead, which is the same bug wearing a completely unrelated face. The reporting is the part worth keeping even after the cause is gone. Where applying ends the process an exception has nowhere to go; where it does not, which is this head's whole shape, it goes out through the dispatcher. RestartNowAsync now answers the way CheckNowAsync already did, and the regression test asserts the absence of a throw rather than the presence of one. ADR 0014 rule 6 gets the correction in place: "asks Android to ask" is one step longer than it reads. Check 17.5 needed no rewording — it asks for the installer appearing by name, which is exactly the thing that never happened — so what it gets instead is the two symptoms named, because both present as a dead button. It is the only thing in the project that can catch either, and it plainly was never run against a real pair of builds. Note for whoever takes the next nightly: a broken updater cannot install its own fix. The phone is running the code this commit replaces, so the first build carrying it has to be sideloaded by hand; the ones after that install normally. Compile-verified and manifest-verified — the receiver reaches the generated manifest — and 321 tests pass. Not run on a device, which is what 17.5 is for.
