Apps installed from Obtainium cannot be archived. I really want the used app icon on my home screen so that I don’t forget about them but with the app deleted to save space.

There is an issue tracker https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/issues/2042 but no developer have answered. Meanwhile is there a work around?

thanks a lot

EDIT: I guess there is not a work around for now. It would be really great for those who sees this post to give https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/issues/2042 a thumbs up. thanks a lot!

    That makes sense, if archiving saves space then it’s just removing/uninstalling the app, but leaving the icon behind. Since you’ve manually installed the app from obtainium, it can’t do that because it has no idea how to re-install the app when you need it again.
