It's always infuriating that the git repo is full of documentation but I cannot find an answer to the question: What Is It Exactly?
It's an app to patch the spotify app, so you have all the premium features. It's not illegal per se, but still, they don't want to grab too much attention.
It is kinda illegal. It's copyright infringement
The illegal part is downloading the copyrighted Spotify apk
But xmanager is not providing the apk, so the project doesn't do anything illegal.
Also if you root your phone (not illegal for some devices) you can install any app from the store and the apk is just there.. on your device, which you can then patch.
Yes that's completely legal. It's just illegal to download it from somewhere else. You don't even need root to get the APK.
