Hi, Is Samsung Smart Switch capable of transfering APK installed Apps (Apps not installed from Google Play store and not from Galaxy store) to a new phone together with the App settings?
I am planning to get a Samsung S23 and I have a Samsung S20 and transfering the App Apk one by one and then their respective settings car be a long and complex task.

After using mobilism, you can get quite a lot of modded APK, how do you transfer this to a new ? Regards

You can choose the apps and data you want to transfer. If you choose it can choose all data on the phone including apps you have downloaded some thing you have to relogin into but a lot will transfer with data for the app. Hope this helps.

I have learned that allowBackup flag in the App manifest is the key. When it is set to False you app settings will not be backup. Now the difficulty is to find an app that list all installed apps on your phone with allowBackup=False , this way you know precisely what to do for some of the apps.
