Dear Developer.

Island has been removed from playstore ..it is available in github, but the version available in github is very old...can you update latest on github..

Google pulled Island from Play Store because they decided that Island is not allowed to use REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission. Actually that permission is essential for Island to clone arbitrary apps (not just the ones installed by Google Play Store). I also submitted a appeal but was rejected by Google Play team.

I'm working on a complex solution to workaround this situation, but they refuse to give me more time. When this solution is ready, Island should be qualified to be back on Google Play Store, but with limited functionality. You can install an Extension Pack from GitHub to bring back the limited functionality to the Google Play version of Island.

The releases on GitHub is always up-to-date as the Google Play version. It's even days earlier because the Google Play Store has a review procedure to approve every update.

Google provides a function, then doesn't allow places to use it. Lmfao, LET ME INSTALL/CLONE AN APK if I WANT TO!!!
