Technical Details
=============
For anyone interested in the technical details of why this file is required please read below.
When releasing for a Target SDK of 23 (Marshmallow), updating system settings requires a new special type of permission to be enabled (which MacroDroid prompts for). However, a few settings are now no longer able to be set, such as enabling/disabling the notification LED (see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189701&can=1&q=notification_light_pulse&colspec=ID%20Status%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars%20Reporter%20Opened)
To workaround this limitation, this very simple helper file is built against an earlier target SDK and the old requests are relayed to this helper file. In this way the old functionality will still work on Marshmallow devices (and beyond).

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
