Does anyone know a way to sideload apps on the Chromecast without installing some sketchy “file uploader HD” app?

All the guides I can find online recommend installing some random file transfer app.

Can’t get termux or f-droid, nor Firefox, chrome or even apkpure

    Use adb on your computer. Adb is how you officially debug android devices so it’s as far away from sketchy as can be.

      Iirc that requires a usb connection at least in the first instance right? I guess only one way to find out if the usb c charging port on the Chromecast dongle supports any kind of data transfer
