Lp2go device restrictions / cannot install on FireOS tablet #20

Closed cjander closed 8 years ago

Hi guy's,

I just joined the test today and directly headed into a minor issue. When trying to download the app via the AppStore, Google did not allowed the installation on my android tablet ( play store tells me it's only for phones). I can of cause compile it by myself, but why the restriction at all?

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

I am looking into this at the moment. It seems that the playstore has some problems with allowing some tablets.

As a workaround you can download the latest alpha APK at https://github.com/MarcProe/lp2go/blob/master/app/app-alpha_flavor_-release.apk

However, this has to be updated "by hand" frequently.

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

could be possible that your tablet does not support usb otg. I set required for this to false

   <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.usb.host"
        android:required="false" />

It will take a few hours for this to go to the playstore, cann you test tomorrow evening?

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

Looks like this might be it

cjander commented 8 years ago

I'm using an Amazon Fire HD8, and I used otg on this already. let's see, booting up my old Nexus now

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

New version is live in the playstore, please try again.

cjander commented 8 years ago

Same as before. Will try the nexus (Manual installation via apg works of cause) Edit: nexus works fine...

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

What android version do you have installed on the fire?

cjander commented 8 years ago

They call it Fire OS 5.1.1, I'm not sure which version of android they've used, I just know it's lollipop

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

I can only assume that there are issues with the playstore. On FireOS, it is not installed by default, you have to do some quirky stuff to get it running. I have a Fire 7 here and will try later if I have the same issue.

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

Please try again tonight. Fire HD8 has no GPS, that could've been the problem.

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

@cjander, may I ask if you now can install via the playstore? Thanks a lot for being so helpful with this issue.

cjander commented 8 years ago

Ah sorry totally forgot to post. No it's still the same, amazon fire doesn't work, nexus 7 does.

MarcProe commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the info. Well, I am out of ideas unfortunately. I guess for the moment we'll have to live with that, until I have a flash of inspiration... Thanks for your help!
