ATAK not installing ATAK-forwarder plugin, never receives android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED #131

Closed HikerScott closed 1 year ago

HikerScott commented 2 years ago

On my Samsung S20 FE running Android 12 security patch May 1, 2022, when I go to install the ATAK-forwarder plugin from within ATAK it successfully installs, but the ATAK never acknowledges the installation.

Comparing the installation against a phone where it does work ApkUpdateReceiver never receives the onReceive: android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED

Note, I have installed other plugins such as WASP, and the package added has been received. I've uninstalled and reinstalled forwarder, have used previous versions of forwarder, attempted older versions of ATAK along with aligned older versions of forwarder, all with no luck.

Attached is a clean start and attempted install. It's hard to show the missing log entry, but I'm sure you know better than myself what to look for. logcat6.txt

I have the same issue on a OnePlus Nord N200 running ATAK 4.6.1.3 where Forwarder installs successfully but fails to be available or show as installed in the plugin section. Log file attached. logcat0.txt

@paulmandal Do you have a Patreon or Venmo I can contribute to you on? This is such a critical plugin, I'd love to help defer expenses.

Bump, I too am having the same issue. When attempting to install the plugin, it prompts me to update the plugin.

Hey all, are you using the Play Store version of ATAK? there have been some issues with plugins showing up in that version.

@0ddBall thank you! If you'd like to send me some cash you can use this link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/paypaulmandal

I am using playstore version while we work on testing. I am working on setting up a self-signed setup but its on the back burner at the moment.

paulmandal commented 2 years ago

Can you use the version from TAK.gov? Some users have reported issues loading the plugin in the Play Store version since 4.6.1.x.

Another fix may be to hit the refresh button in Package Management in ATAK.

The last thing I've seen reported as a fix is to import the plugin through ATAK.

jbutler988 commented 2 years ago

I will give it a shot! Will the play store signed version of the plugin work with the tak.org apk?

jbutler988 commented 2 years ago

I am unable to get ATAK from atak.gov. Looks like the only place to get the app is from the playstore or the github repo. Looks like its time to start stumbling through making some self signed certs.

I confirm that getting APK online doesn't allow the plugins to be loaded. I tried multiple sources and version without success. Installation was successful but plugin was never activated without any error being provided. I downloaded it from TAK.gov and it worked right away. If you need some tips ; just create an account and click on the ressources tab, log in again, then on this new private page, you'll be able to download products going on the products tab.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I went through tak.gov and navigated to their github repo. I'm cloning the repo now.

Did you download the APK from tak.gov or from their github repo?

From Tak.gov, at : https://tak.gov/products/atak-civ

Thank you! I just came across it. I will reply if it works for me. Thanks for the help!

jbutler988 commented 2 years ago

Good news. Using the tak.gov version and the playstore signed packet forwarder worked exactly as intended! Thanks everyone for the help.

Unable to get my hands on APK from tak.gov (I don't see how I can do that).

With the Play store version it's not working as some of the others have mentioned above, any news on why this is happening and what can be done to get it to work?

I've tried all the other suggestions from @paulmandal.

Thanks!

tak.gov version: https://tak.gov/products/atak-civ install meshtastic latest from playstore, install latest forwarder from github repo then: refresh button in Package Management in ATAK. only issue left for me is configuring the node

paulmandal commented 1 year ago

This version may show up in the playstore version: https://github.com/paulmandal/atak-forwarder/releases/tag/2.0.1
