APK won't open #3

I downloaded this application via F-Droid, an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. Link: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=yubiclip&fdid=com.yubico.yubiclip

Unfortunately, the app does not open or work at all. Is the app not built correctly? If so, would you be able to provide the correct APK file? Thanks in advance

I just tested the APK from F-droid, which seems to work as expected. Please note that YubiClip doesn't provide a launcher or UI, it is only started when a correctly formatted NDEF tag is scanned (as the YubiKey NEO provides by default). The behavior of the app is then to parse the OTP from the tag and copy it to the clipboard, showing a quick message on the screen indicating success.

That's weird. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3.1. It appears to install correctly but it doesn't show up in the application drawer. I guess that's a side-effect of not having a UI, like you said. I put my yubikey next to the back and it starts to make the sound of reading the NFC but then it stops and nothing happens. I downloaded NFC Reader from F-Droid to test and when I place the YubiKey near the phone with that app installed, it reads the static password correctly and displays it on the phone, so I don't think it's a problem with my key or the phone's NFC reader. Any other suggestions I could try?

Right, the app missing from the app drawer is due to it not having a UI. Have you changed the NDEF programming of the YubiKey NEO? YubiClip requires the tag to be a URL of the format "https://my.yubico.com/neo/" without quotes where the \ can be anything, such as a YubiKey OTP (as it is by default) or a static password.

Fantastic! That was the problem. I didn't have the tag in the right format. It's working now. Thanks for all the help.

Great, glad you got it working!
