Due to inherent limitations with running on external storage we don't support it.

@cscharf We don't specify the installLocation in the manifest, which normally means the system should default to internalOnly. However I'm not sure if EMUI respects that default so we may need to be explicit about it by adding android:installLocation="internalOnly" within application in the Android manifest.
