Typically with my code, I compile the APK, then use adb push to send it to /system/priv-app. Since I started using this extension I'm having weird behavior, where my changes aren't reflected in the app if I push the APK manually, only if I push it using this extension. So it seems like however the extension is installing the APK is giving it higher priority than the copy in /system/priv-app.

What does this extension do with the APK, and how can I remove it from the device?
