Android APK installation fails on 3 different devices #106

Closed mngarchow closed 2 years ago

mngarchow commented 2 years ago

Installation of the APK failed to three different Android devices that meet the stated minimum requirements (64-bit ARM processor and version 5.0+).

Device 1: Moto G5 plus (Specifications) Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 (14 nm) CPU: Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 Android version 8.1 Client 1.0.0 EA 3

After copying the file to the phone, I clicked on the file in the default file manager. I was prompted with "Your phone and personal data are more vulnerable.... loss of data that may result form its use." I clicked Continue. I was then taken to a screen that said "Do you want to install this application? It does not require any special access". I clicked Install. After a brief progress bar the next screen said "App not installed.". The only option was to click Done.

Device 2: Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J700T (Specifications) Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 CPU: Octa-core (4x1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.0 GHz Cortex-A53)

Android version 7.1.1 Client 1.0.0 EA 3

First I enabled the "Unknown Sources" toggle on Lock Screen and Security in Settings. After copying the file to the phone, I clicked on the file in the default file manager. I was then taken to a screen that said "Do you want to install this application? It does not require any special access". I clicked Install. After a brief progress bar the next screen said "App not installed. This app isn't compatible with your phone." The only option was to click Done.

Device 3: Samsung Galaxy Tab A (Specifications)

Experience, same as device 2.

I am unsure if the minimum requirements are outdated or if this is an actual bug. Thanks!

My Fire tablet HD 8 does the same as your Device 1.

Client 1.0.0 EA 3

Android ver. 9

This is most likely because your devices are 32 bit, or are 64 bit systems powered by 32 bit OS.

To confirm, please download a terminal emulator like termux, and run uname -a. You may also refer to system info apps like cpuz which provide the supported ABIs and architecture for your device.

Thanks, CPU-Z says the kernel is Armv7l, which seems to conflict with what I found on the official motorola site. Bummer, your project would have been a great use for older devices.

on my fire 8 it's

armv8l

CPUz says

it's an ARM vortex-A53

which from what i can gather online is a 64bit CPU.

@MoronPhatboi looks like amazon blocks debug apk installation on their tablets.

Follow these steps:
