What it is

WAPI certificate manager

WAPI = WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure.

A Chinese national standard for Wireless LAN within a limited area such as a home. Not very useful if you don't live in China.

Digital certificates identify devices and apps for security. Just like your driver’s license shows that you can legally drive, a digital certificate identifies your device and confirms that it should be able to access something.

Commands

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.wapi.wapicertmanage

To put it back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.wapi.wapicertmanage

Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.

This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
