Frequently Asked Questions:
We hear a lot of questions about ACMarket and these are the most common ones:
What Platforms does ACMarket Support?
First and foremost it is an Android installer, offering only Android content. However, we have guides to let you install it on iOS and on Mac/Windows too.
Do I Have To Root My Android Device?
No, you don’t. However, there are definite advantages to doing so. First, any games already on your device will be modified by the installer, to give them new features. And, second, if you don’t root your device and you try to use some of the apps or games over the internet, the Play Store may block them.
Will My Warranty Be Safe?
Ye, it will. ACMarket installs like any official app and doesn’t need to break into the Android security to work. You might find it a different story if you use a tweak that changes the way your device works, but you can delete these if you need to.
