Hmm I have made some search and I found that your need to explicitly go inside the app and allow it to install the apk. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/08/making-it-safer-to-get-apps-on-android-o.html

Hi ,

I have found a solution but i'm not sure that will be the greatest one

in the manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.settings.MANAGE_UNKNOWN_APP_SOURCES" /> i have add these permissions

after that installation worked fine....

@GowthamJadon I try to add this permission but for me doesn't work. When checkAppUpdate is called android ask the permission for Install unknown apps but if mark to allow nothing happen. Apk doesn't download. Does anyone have the same issue?
