Install Options

neon --install-option="--bypass-verification --bypass-low-target-sdk-block" /path/to/bundle.xapk

Note

Using --install-option allows you to use flags according to the SDK version, where each SDK has different flag rules, such as -t for testing, but on Android 13 (SDK 33) the use of flags to --test-only is a recognized flag. like the above flag --bypass-low-target-sdk is not be available on Android 12 (SDK 31).

ADB Port

by default the port will use 55555 which will not connect automatically even if Wireless Debugging is on (but not connected to termux yet), so I added an option to do: adb connect ip-address:port directly together with the command just by entering a valid port, which you can see in:

Developer Options -> Wireless Debugging -> IP Address & Port

neon --adb-port 45817 /path/to/bundle.apkm

this will make it automatically connect to adb, and run the installation directly.

ADB Port & Flags

neon --adb-port 45817 -d -t /path/to/bundle.xapk

ADB Port & Install Options

neon --adb-port 45817 --install-option="--bypass-low-target-sdk-block --test-only" /path/to/bundle.apkm
