AppSelector runs shortly after first setup on most T-Mobile and Metro Android phones. It asks a few questions, then offers recommended apps to install from a list; the apps you pick download from Google Play. ironSource, now part of Unity, builds it for T-Mobile. After setup it stays in the app list and can prompt again after a factory reset.
If you disable it
