Hello,

Your application seems very interesting. But when I'm triyng to install the APK it fails even if I'm in developper mode or using an apk installer app. I don't have any log to show. My phone works on android 8.0.0. perhaps to old?

Thanks for your help.

Hello @inkskull
Do you have any specific error messages? Currently, I target the application is targeted for android 11 and I don't have an older android phone to do testing.

Thanks for your reply, was busy this day. Tried on my wife samsung S9 under android 10. Got the same result : while downloading got a message : "file potentialy corrupted". And while installing : "A problem has occured while package analysis" and then the install process stops. Of course in the parameters I've allowed package installation from unknown sources...

Perhaps samsung has some issue installing external APK's, Try one thing, Download the APK on a computer, send it to yourself using something like whatsapp/telegram so that the download will not be corrupted and try to install again. Try that let's see @inkskull

i tested the app today with the same android device, I got an error with something like "not signed" or something. no problem, I will use a newer one 😏

I want to keep it open so I can add a signed APK in the release assets.

@AchoArnold i ask a friend of mine who has an android 8 and he confirmed, that he was able to install the app now, which is great. i cannot confirm that it's working in general, but being able to install it, is a very good sign - so thanks for signing the app ! 😏

Is it possible to build for android 5.5+? I have a redmi 4a old device running on android 7.1 and the app returns "there was a problem while parsing the package" while installation.

I couldn't @flyvolcano android 8.0 API level 26 was the lowest I could go without any issue, If you will like to invest time in a PR to support another android version, I'll gladly merge it. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platforms#8.0
