[Samsung Apps .apk Full Version
Oludare Padilla
As I have mainly been testing on the emulators and only every now and again exporting to a real phone I am not sure when this happened. What is the likely cause of it not installing on a physical phone but running fine in the emulators?
I only encountered the App not installed error when trying to install an apk on my phone which runs on 4.4.2 aka KitKat, but my friend did not encounter this error on his phone which runs on 6+. I tried the other solutions such as removing the old/debug version of the app because the apk was a release version, clearing the debug app's data, and even clearing all of my cached data. Then, finally I realized all I had to do was select both signature versions when building my signed apk.
I had a similar issue and it was because I was trying to install an apk on a phone with a previous version of the same apk, and both apks hadn't been signed with the same certificate. I mean when I used the same certificate I was able to overwrite the previous installation, but when I changed the certificate between versions, the installation was not possible. Are you using the same certificate?
Clearly there are many causes of this problem. For me the situation was this: I had deployed to my nexus 7 (actual device) from within the Android Studio (v1.3.2). All worked fine. I then created a signed apk and uploaded to my Google Drive. After disconnecting my nexus from the usb, I went to the settings/apps and uninstalled my app (App1). I then opened google drive and clicked on my App1.apk and chose to install it (need to ensure you have allowed installation of apks in settings). Then I got the dreaded message "App not Installed"
Solution for me: go back into settings/apps and scroll though all apps and at the bottom was a pale version of my App1 (note the original App1 was at the top in Alphabetical order which was deleted as above). When clicking on the pale version it said "Not installed for this user". (I had set up my nexus to have more than one user). But in the top right corner there is a three dot button. I pressed this and it said "Uninstall for all users". Which I did and it fixed the problem. I was now able to click on App1.apk and it installed fine without the error.
I had the same issue, i.e. App showed up as being installed, but would not launched when the icon was tapped. After some head-banging, I found that I had stupidly placed ' android:exported="false" ' for my main launcher activity within the AndroidManifest file.... Once I removed it, the App launched fine..
I know this is an old post, but for new users may be useful. I had the same problem: my application worked fine while debbuging. When I signed the APK I got the same message: "Application not installed".
My problem was that I have multiple user accounts on the device. I deleted the app on 1 account, but it still was installed on the other account. Thus the namespace collided and did not install. Uninstalling the app from all user fixed it for me.
I faced a similar issue today and at first i thought it was my sd card which corrupted it. I tried it on many devices running android 4.4 and up but it kept bringing the same issue.After some googling and research i realized that i didn't select the v1 jar signature which is for devices older than android 7.0 nougat so i applied both of these signatures by selecting the two check boxes and generated a signed apk and it worked.
Sideloading debug apps for testing on a physical phone worked reliably until I upgraded the phone from Android Pie to Android 10. After that, the "App not installed" error came up every time I tried to sideload the app.
If you go through command line for all, some times you may face "Application not installed" error.(Application not installed error can happen not only, when using command line. It can be some other reasons as well)
Using Android Studio, I had previously installed the unsigned debug version of the APK (Build > Build APK) and had to uninstall it before installing the signed release version (Build Variants > Build Variant: release, Build > Generate Signed APK).
Apparently this can also be caused by renaming the APK prior to installing it. I wanted to reduce the amount of typing users had to do to get the app from our web site by shortening the file name. After that, they were unable to install it.
In my case it was because I was using the alpha version of support library 28. Looks like Google marks these pre release versions as testOnly. If you really want to release like this (for instance, you want to push an internal beta like I did), you can add this line to your gradle.properties file:
I also encountered this issue. Kindly try this solution. Make sure that the package name of your project is different from your previous project that was already installed in your mobile phone. I think they get conflict in their names. It works in me.
The goal as previously stated should be to find out if the apk on the server is newer than the one installed BEFORE attempting to download or install it. The easiest way to do this is include the version number in the filename of the apk hosted on the server eg myapp_1.01.apk
You will need to establish the name and version number of the apps already installed (if it is installed) in order to make the comparison. You will need a rooted device or a means of installing the aapt binary and busybox if they are not already included in the rom.
As somebody asked how to do it without using aapt.It is also possible to extract apk info with apktool and a bit of scripting. This way is slower and not simple in android but will work on windows/mac or linux as long as you have working apktool setup.
For the upgrade scenario specifically an alternative approach might be to have a web service that delivers the current version number and check that instead of downloading the entire apk just to check its version. It would save some bandwidth, be a little more performant (much faster to download than an apk if the whole apk isn't needed most of the time) and much simpler to implement.
There's more simpler way to identify version code and version name.Please drag and drop the latest apk to Android studio for apk analyzer, here you can cross verify the version code and version name as shown below:
I thought about trying to install another browser and use that to circumvent the excuse of a version of the Google Play store but could not find any other browser apart from one I had never heard of but was even worse than the pre-installed browser.
It almost seems like no other browsers can be used or even installed. The television is well outside its warranty so any argument that Philips were to make that it was about protecting my safety or whatever would be past its sell by date.
if you have no way to upgrade to version 7 then you can go to the -browser which has apk file for android for all version they release which will require some searching also to use the right apk for your arch for example this latest version
-browser/releases/tag/v1.56.20
has many apk arch
Actually, the Philips TV is running Android 8.0.0. I already tried installing the version of the apk you linked to. After supposedly installing it (I got the installation screen and the progress bar completed and I got a success message), Brave appeared to have been installed as the installer gave the option to open the app but it did not open. Brave does not appear amongst the installed apps BUT if I look at app permissions, specifically which apps can install apps, Brave is there and enabled.
I have tried most of the browsers on my Android TV, at this moment Brave is the one that works best with small memory and small storage space (1.6GB free left of my TV set).
I use to download the apk from
apkmirror(dot)com/apk/brave-software/brave-browser/
An annoyance I just found
There are cookies that I cannot delete
My wish list
Add support for EME
bitmovin(dot)com/demos/drm
Videos that needs this feature I use to watch using KIWI browser + extensions
if you have any other browser on your tv could you go to =com.brave.browser hope it give you notice that you can open it using the playstore and once it opened it will report if there issue for why it not appear on your play store
As already pointed out, the built in browser and the only other browser I can install via the version of the Google Play app installed on the television are garbage - they make the AOL browser look good and hang when challenged by anything remotely out of their comfort zone.
Unfortunately, when Brave was opened, the screen went white, then rotated 90, went black then quit. Opera would work so using that, I found and installed the Bravearm64Universal.apk mentioned earlier. When I launched that version, I got the rotating white screen again, then black then a Brave splash screen at 90 but then it quit - but some kind of progress.
I then tried installing BraveMonoarm64.apk. That also did the rotating white screen, black screen, 90 Brave splash screen but went to a 90 welcome screen with options which were almost impossible to navigate at 90 with an air mouse but I managed and thankfully, the screen rotated 90 back and seems to be working.
After IAP integration, you must check the operation mode before submitting the app. If you submit the app with OPERATION_MODE_TEST, licensed users continue to get all the items for free but all other users see an error message if they try to purchase an item. So, before beta release or normal publication, confirm that the operation mode is OPERATION_MODE_PRODUCTION.
Before submitting your app and its in-app items for review testing and normal publication in the Galaxy Store, you can beta release a test version of the app and one or more of its items to test IAP integration.
If you make modifications to your app during a beta test, you must update the app in Seller Portal and then beta release this app. Beta testers must uninstall the old beta version and use the new beta test URL to download the new beta version.
