SystemUpdaterSample

This app demonstrates how to use Android system updates APIs to install OTA updates. It contains a sample client for update_engine to install A/B (seamless) updates and a sample of applying non-A/B updates using recovery.

A/B (seamless) update is available since Android Nougat (API 24), but this sample targets the latest android.
