  • Hi! I don't think there is a "best" source, personally. Different options have their pros and cons, and other options pretty much have only cons.

    That said, for the use case you're describing, yes, I wouldn't bother with anything other than the Play Store. You're already using it anyway, as well as using Play Services for the apps you need. Getting some of your apps from another source makes little to no sense to me.

      Hahax It depends on your threat model if you would like to use the Play Services. But if you are going to use the Play Services, I would recommend to use a different User or Work Profile for the Play Services because a) the apps can't communicate with each other and b) seperating your apps even further. I know, it is a bit of a hassle to manage it, and if it's a really big problem for you, I would recommend to use a work profile for the Play Services, because with that you have even the convenience to simultaneously. But do keep in mind that this kind of isolation is generally less secure than with user profiles and you have to fully trust the device controller app (such as Shelter), because it has full access of the data inside the work profile and a Device Controller App is mandatory for Work Profiles.
