Honest limits
What Install Dock claims — and what it deliberately does not — so field expectations stay accurate.
These are product boundaries and remainders, not temporary bugs. See Platforms for the full package matrix.
Progress and sessions
- ADB does not report transfer bytes. The UI shows indeterminate progress plus elapsed time — never a fake percentage.
- Disconnect or timeout marks a session Interrupted.
- After an Interrupted session, verify the installed version before another mutating confirm.
Signatures
- Certificate fingerprints are extracted locally from the package.
- Full apksigner digest verification and v3 lineage validation are not claimed.
Host packages
- IPA deploy requires macOS, Apple device tools, and exactly one paired device. Unsigned sideload is forbidden.
- .dmg is never auto-run. .exe / .msix / .rpm / AppImage are identified, not executed.
- macOS .pkg via open is not recorded as verified package-manager Success.
- Windows .msi uses msiexec /i with UAC — silent /qn is not used. Linux .deb uses dpkg when present — apt-get download is never used.
Multi-target USB
- Additional USB Android targets can be queued only in Advanced Mode.
- The queue runs serially (one device at a time) with a per-target confirm.
- There is no install-to-all action.
Never in scope
- MDM, remote lock/wipe, cloud stores, accounts, or telemetry.
- Wireless ADB as a product feature, public screen streaming, or Magisk / bootloader unlock.
