This is exactly as I have already said: this API is not available to third

Correct. The user needs to be involved in installing apps by confirming it
in the UI (you can invoke this UI if you want). In cupcake you can load

There is an API in cupcake to allow you to perform the dexopt into your own
directory. That will be available when cupcake is available.

Would not it be somewhat dangerous to allow apps is /data/app folder
to install other applications?? An app can just create an infinite
loop in which downloads applications which do not require any
