Hello,
I cannot simply install the apk of my Android app on Sony Xperia XA2.
I gave permission for unkown apk sources
I disabled AVG Protection (who knows)
I gave "install" permission to Chrome also
I tried with: 1. Astro File Manager, 2. Chrome 3. "APK Installer" from apk.cafe
In all cases I can press "install" button wih result message "App not installed".
Why ???
Backround: I have created a small Android app. In debug mode (debug build) it deploy and runs fine on my Sony Xperia by using Android Studio + ADB. Now I created a release build (with own certificate made by Android Studio's menu) to see how it runs. But I cannot install it
Any hints are welcome. Crazy to spend hours on a 2 min action...
ps: I logged my efforts:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Try this new APK on Som's phone:
- delete the debug version (to make sure that I see the release version)
- keep phone in "debug" mode
- copy the APK into "internal..." / "Download"
- install from the APK:
- Astro File Manager : can find apk
- Open with : "Package installer" selected
- starting isnstall says: "app not installed"
WHY ????
- "Apps & Notification" / AVG Protection / "Advanced" / "Install unknown apps" : "Allowed"
- starting isnstall says: "app not installed"
Still !! Why ???
