How to allow F-Droid to update apps on its own? (lemmy.ml)

I use a Xiaomi phone, it has this annoying "Security" app that gets everytime I'm installing or updating an app to pass a "security scan" and show me an add. F-Droid downloads updates on start, but then I just get this message "App update is ready to install" and then I have to manually install each update.

Any idea on how to bypass this app? I have partially debloated my phone using some ADB debloater but I'm worried my OS will break if I remove this "Security" app.

Also don't know if I'll also need to keep installing each update individually even after deleting it.

I also noticed that I haven't given permissions for "modifying system settings" to F-Droid.

What android version? Must be 12 or later. Fdroid cant do it as its target android version is to low. You will need droid-ify for that

It would still still prompt that pop-up. That was the case when I had one on android 10. It's a miui thing unless it gets bypassed for this android API.
