Install arbitrary apk from filesystem on Android 10? Looks like in Android 10, "install from unknown sources" was changed from a global setting to a per-app permission. Apparently in order to install APKs now I need to whitelist each app that I'm trying to do this from. However, none of the apps I actually need to do this from (default system "Files" browser and Root Browser) even have this setting. Root Browser has a context menu to open with Package Installer but it doesn't work?

Do I need to get another third-party app just to install APKs from the filesystem? This is so lame. Thanks.

Edit: I am on a Pixel 3 running stock Android 10.0.
To disable /enable this permission :

Settings &rarr; notifications&rarr; Special app access&rarr;
 Install unknown apps &rarr;your app

AFAIR, this change came about from Oreo (Android 8)

Solid explorer and Mixplorer are the one's I use and they both install apk's (OnePlus 7, Android 10)
