## Introduction

This document serves as a comprehensive guide for developers interested in integrating their modules with the Androidacy Module Manager (AMM). It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the [official Magisk module developer guide](https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html).

> **Note:** The official Magisk repository no longer accepts new modules. Developers are encouraged to submit their modules to the [Androidacy Repository](https://www.androidacy.com/magisk-modules-repository/).

## Special Considerations

### MitM and Certificate Pinning

Certificate pinning is supported only from Android 7.0 onwards. Issues related to MitM on unsupported Android versions will not be entertained.

### App Hiding

The application does not support hiding features. The package names should either be `com.fox2code.mmm` or `com.androidacy.mmm`.

### Low-Quality Module Filter

The low-quality module filter is implemented at `com.fox2code.mmm.utils.io.PropUtils.isLowQualityModule`. This filter ensures that only modules meeting a minimum quality standard are displayed to the end-users.

## Custom Repository Format

This section outlines the JSON format for custom repositories. The feature is slated for release in version `0.6.0`.

```json
{
  "name": "Repo name",
  "website": "repo website",
  "support": "optional support url",
  "donate": "optional support url",
  "submitModule": "optional submit module URL",
  "last_update": 0,
  "modules": [
    {
      "id": "module id",
      "last_update": 0,
      "notes_url": "notes url",
      "prop_url": "module.prop url",
      "zip_url": "module.zip url"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Module Properties
In addition to the standard Magisk properties, AMM supports several optional properties to enhance module functionality and user experience.

```properties
# AMM supported properties
minApi=<int>
maxApi=<int>
minMagisk=<int>
needRamdisk=<boolean>
support=<url>
donate=<url>
config=<package>
changeBoot=<boolean>
mmtReborn=<boolean>
```

Note: All URLs must start with `https://`.

### ANSI Styling
AMM declares the ANSI_SUPPORT variable as true if ANSI is supported. The application utilizes the AndroidANSI library for this feature.

### Installer Commands
AMM provides a set of specialized commands to control the installer interface. These commands are prefixed with #!.

Note: A wrapper script example is provided for better understanding.

### Developer Mode
Developer mode in AMM unlocks features that are unstable, dangerous, or experimental. Developer mode can be enabled by tapping the version number in the settings menu 7 times. **We don't recommend enabling developer mode unless you know what you're doing. Bug reports will not be accepted with developer mode on.**

### Conclusion
The Androidacy Module Manager API offers a robust set of features designed to enhance the user experience during module installation. Developers are encouraged to leverage these features to create a unique installation experience.
