Persistent Shortcuts creates homescreen shortcuts that persist across app uninstalls and installs. Constantly switching between different builds of the same app on your device? Put one persistent shortcut to a single app on your homescreen and never worry again. If you click on a shortcut for an app that was uninstalled you'll be redirected to the Play Store to re-download the app.

To use simply go to your launcher's Widgets section and look for the "New shortcut" widget to place on your homescreen.

Additionally on devices running Android 7.0+ with freeform mode enabled Persistent Shortcuts can optionally launch apps into freeform windows using your existing launcher.
