What is, "performing streamed install"

I am running a build through adb command,

adb install myapp.apk

In the console, I get the message, Performing streamed install

What does this mean.

Solution

  • PackageManager has 2 CLI interfaces - legacy pm and new cmd package.

    The legacy installation process required uploading the .apk file to /data/local/tmp folder first. The new process has the (default) option of using pipelines instead of the temporary file. This option is called Streamed Install.
