[patel]

I'm sorry, but I did not understand

@patel

I did not understand

Read the whole thread and you will understand.

[patel]

Thanks for the help, I give up

[Anke]

@patel

I give up

Where is the problem in renaming the APK from e.g.
myApp.apk to
myApp.png
in Google Drive and then download this file (as shown in my link)?

@Anke

myApp.png

sorry, I'm also confused...
@Anke are you saying, your solution is only able to download png files?

(APK) File is not downloaded completely (from Google Drive) but a few Kbytes (using Android 10)

It seems to be no longer possible with Google Drive, since Google classifies the APK as a potential virus. [grafik] See also here: So upload the APK to another server / hosting platform / your own server and download the APK from there.

I tried to download a real image with your block, the image were downloaded but it is corrupted

[Anke]

Post the aia or send it to me via PM.

[patel]

This is the aia
Instalacion_3.aia (25.8 KB)

with companion I can download the apk, the size is correct, but I can not install it by companion, building produces this error:

[Anke]

Try this one:

Instalacion_3a.apk

[patel]

Your apk runs well, but where is the issue ? My aia was correct?

[Anke]

@patel

Your apk runs well

Fine.

@patel

My aia was correct?

Obviously not. So create a new project with my blocks and try again.

[patel]

Why not correct ? I used your aia in post 78, I don't see any substantial differences between the 2 projects, anyway a new project runs well.

[Anke]

@patel

anyway a new project runs well

Fine, then something went wrong with your (old) project.

[patel]

In my opinion you should clarify well in the first post that it is necessary to insert a png renamed apk on gdrive

This has nothing to do with my extension. It's an issue with Google Drive.

[patel]

You are right, but this note would save you a lot of answers

Hey @Anke,

Thanks for this great extension!
It works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy A30s - Android 11 (without any READ/WRITE permissions)

However, when I try to use it on my Samsung Galaxy J Max - Android 5.1.1, it throws up this error:

I tried asking for READ EXTERNAL STORAGE and WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE on Screen Initialize but the problem still persists.

Additionally, I tried asking for android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" but the problem still exists.

I tried searching and I might have overlooked something in this lengthy thread, but can you let me know why this is happening and how to resolve this?

Thanks!

Post the aia (and also the blocks).

@Anke

The app extension has been changed to .png before uploading to Google Drive as mentioned.

Working great on Android 11, but throws an error on Android 5.1.1
