New update doesn't install after download in android 8

[nasserghiasi]

In Android 8 all apps need permission to install apk file, the plugin doesn't compatible with android 8 new feature.

Sometimes I have the same behaviour with Android 6 on a tablet. The download completes but the App does not autorestart. The bad thing is that it is not always the same: sometimes it goes fine and restarts and updates, some other times it hangs on that popup. So I think it is not only an Android 8 issue.

You can add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES"/>. It works. See also https://github.com/vaenow/cordova-plugin-app-update/pull/118#issue-224686125
