Description

From the listing uploaded by “devjam”.

Persistent Shortcuts creates homescreen shortcuts that persist across app uninstalls and installs. Constantly switching between different builds of the same app on your device? Put one persistent shortcut to a single app on your homescreen and never worry again. If you click on a shortcut for an app that was uninstalled, you'll be redirected to the Play Store to re-download the app. To use, simply go to your launcher's Widgets section and look for the "New shortcut" widget to place on your homescreen. Additionally, on devices running Android 7.0+ with freeform mode enabled, Persistent Shortcuts can optionally launch apps into freeform windows using your existing launcher.

Persistent Shortcuts APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Persistent Shortcuts APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 446c4eb42309752e3e195f1133b17e50.
