Package intelligence
Observed signing, permission, version and size signals from contributing devices - descriptive of that sample, not a verdict. These come from the v2 Package Search sync, which not every device has contributed to yet, so for some packages this detail is partial or not present at all.

device profiles
- Signed by Google's own signing key (the same key Google uses across devices), so it is a Google-provided preinstall that updates independently of the system image, and that single certificate is consistent across all 26 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 17 permissions: 1 runtime (user-granted), 4 signature or system-level, 7 install-time and 5 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 1.9 MB to 6.4 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Reported as an updated system app on 18 of 26 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (17)
Largest permission set observed for this package. Text is Android's own published description where one exists; platform permissions Android does not document show their granted protection level (in grey) instead; vendor or unknown constants show the name only.
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK |
- |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. |
CHANGE_WIFI_STATE |
Allows the app to connect to and disconnect from Wi-Fi access points and to make changes to device configuration for Wi-Fi networks. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE |

INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
INTERNET |
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet. |

POST_NOTIFICATIONS |
Allows the app to show notifications |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running. |

Signature or privileged system permission. |
USE_LOOPBACK_INTERFACE |
- |
WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS |
Signature or privileged system permission. |

Manage on devices
ADB commands for this package (the inverse of each is included so you can undo). Run from an authorised shell or wire the equivalent into your DPC. Verify on a test device first - this database doesn’t yet classify which packages are safe to change. --user 0 targets the current user; drop it (and use a privileged shell) to act device-wide.
Disable for the current user
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.setupwizard.searchselector
Remove for the current user - a per-user uninstall; the APK stays on
/system, so Restore re-adds it (-k keeps app data)adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.setupwizard.searchselector
Re-enable
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.setupwizard.searchselector
Restore (re-install for the current user)
