uninstall it does not work on Pixel3a #306

Closed tioannidis closed 4 years ago

tioannidis commented 4 years ago

On my Pixel 3a (Android10) i can't uninstall Apps with the "uninstall" command. Maybe a authorization problem?

Version v6.15(Code:206)

Please find attached: Screenshot_20200401-060716

Hi @tioannidis I Confirmed this on Pixel 4. Intent ACTION_DELETE does not seem to work probably because of some changes to the installation process if you install it with play store (permissions?). The workaround is:

  1. Give the browser of your choice the permission to install unknown apps (Settings-> Apps & notifications -> _foobrowser -> Advanced -> Install unknown apps -> toggle allowed
  2. Download f-droid apk from [(https://f-droid.org)] with _foobrowser
  3. Install f-froid by opening the apk (should be handled automatically by the browser)
  4. Give f-droid permission to install unknown apps (see 0.) (4. conditional : Uninstall t-ui from play store)
  5. Search for t-ui in f-droid and install
  6. start t-ui and perform test uninstall
  7. Remove install unknown apps permission from chrome and f-droid, although I am not sure if this impacts updates and such (@fAndreuzzi ?).

Confirmed workaround on Pixel 4, although it may be more of a solution, since I do not think anyone will raise this issue with google and the play store.

Will donate today, Francesco. Hope you are safe and well.

Cheers, Andrej
