I do wish to avoid GAFAM as much as possible and degoogle my android. Now, all the apps are not available on f-droid. APK Pure and APK Mirror do have those apps, but they’re not getting installed into my device after downloading. What could be the reason ?
To actually answer your question here:
Are you saying you download the apk file, but it’s not installing? So, what exactly did you do after downloading the apk file? I suspect you have to find it among the downloads on your phone and actually open the apk, to initiate the installation.
I hope that helps!
I downloaded the xapk files of the app. Then I had to install it through some installer, and after going through all the efforts, my device is refusing to install the app in my phone. If it’s the problem with my device, then how come that same app get installed when l’m downloading from playstore ??
Xapk is not the same as apk. You need an xapk installer like Thor or universal installer.
Universal installer failed to do the job.
You’ll have to give folks a little more detail if you want help solving this. It’s okay if you just want to vent about the frustration, but if you are looking for a solution, please share exactly what you are attempting, what you have tried, what step failed, in what way it failed, whether you received an error message, what it said, etc. Hope this helps!
I believe you have to approve each app from which you initiate the installation of an app. So like if you open the apk file from Firefox e.g., you have to approve Firefox as an app that can install apps.
Did that approve message ever pop up for you?
Other than that, I think my suggestions have come to an end. 😓 Best of luck!
I fulfilled that requirement.
Then I tap out, sorry mate!
