Can I delete com.google.android.packageinstaller

[Jasmin74]

Hello,
I need to disable users from uninstalling applications on a samsung tab/Android 7.
I managed to do this on Android 5 by deleting "Package installer" & it worked.
is it the same for android 7 with this file : " com.google.android.packageinstaller"??
It stopped the device instead, any tip?

Ok just stop users from disabling applications?

You can install a launcher that hides apps but nothing that can stop anyone from accessing the apps from the notification shade

thank you, but when you hide some apps they won't work in the background!

No it doesn't. It just makes it so they don't show up in the app drawer. It will show in the list of installed apps and any notifications will show in the notification bar.

I wouldn't recommend it, I would just leave it be and change an apps in your settings to install packages to your device.
