[Q] No app update? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today, the developer of an app has announced that his new version of app has been already uploaded to Play Store. However, after near half day, there was still no notification about the update from Play Store. Moreover, I tried to uninstall then reinstall it, it still the old version.
What actually happened to Play Store / developer / my phone?

OK, new version requires 4.x

Version of Android is not the issue, because some users using different phone also suffered from the same problem. (such as Nexus 4, Note 2, etc)

delete it , and download apk to pc . copy it to your phone , then install again

Fixed, developer replied that he only updated about 50% of users yesterday. The rest of us will receive it today (including me)

How to hide CyanogenOS to an app?

Hi,
just to say it: I would not have to ask this question at all, if the cyanogen forum would be up... I'm pretty sure I'm not the first cyanogenOS user with this problem.
I'm a TripAdvisor user and the android app is letting me down during my holiday at this very moment. Because I'm using CyanogenOS (not rooted) it won't show the embedded google map. The complete error message I'm getting is: "Themes on devices running Cyanogen OS are known to cause crashes with Google Maps. Maps on TripAdvisor will be disabled on this device."
I've never had a crash with Google Maps on Wileyfox Swift2. So how do I get rid of the issue with very little effort?
Thanks!
I have this same problem. It's a bit annoying for the TripAdvisor app to not even give the user the option to try the embedded Google Maps. The original poster's idea of "hiding" the fact that the device is running CyanogenMod (in my case, despite that TripAdvisor thinks its Cyanogen OS) from the app would be a useful workaround.
Anyone?
thanks.
(OnePlus One, CyanogenMod 14.1 nightly last, until LineageOS gets up and running...)
Same problem here with running Oneplus One CyanogenOS . I'm pretty sure it is a way of tripadvisor boycott Cyanogen powered devices, because I never had a single problem using both Tripadvisor or Google Maps...
Hi littlebifi, you made a point to note that your device is not rooted; is that to suggest that on a rooted device you know of a way to fool the TripAdvisor app into NOT blocking Google Maps embedded? How?
thanks,

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's possible to fool the app if the device would be rooted. I just stated it to describe my current setup.
As a temporary solution I downgraded my Tripadvisor app to the previous version (uninstalled the old one, downloaded an old apk from some database online and installed this one) and now it's working again. But now I have annoying update notices from the play store, but the embedded map works again.
URL of prior version Tripadvisor app .APK?
Thanks for the reply. Could you post the URL of the prior version Tripadvisor app .APK that you used? (I make the assumption that you're satisfied that it's a legitimate version, not infected/tainted).
cheers,

I'm not allowed to post outside links. So please post the link I send you as pm instead of me
I can't give any guarantee for the outside link. It works for me.
Version 19 and higher has the block for mods, so I choose the latest Version 18.
Thanks. I tried both the link you sent in the PM and another I found by searching, and on my OnePlus One with CM14.1 both are rejected as corrupt...

Is the option "Unknown sources" active? You find it under Security in the section "Device administraion".

It's not the fact that it's an .apk instead of a Store installation (that would give a different error). The Android Package Installer really thinks that these are corrupt - or perhaps the OnePlus One or CM14.1/Android 7.1 .apk has to be slightly different than whatever I'm finding in these .apk archives?

Sometimes I'm such an idiot I amaze even myself... :-}
I've got Titanium Backup on my device; all I had to do was protect and restore the last v18 of TripAdvisor. I've got embedded maps again!

AL00 No Playstore

Hi guys, I just got my Mate 10 ALP-AL00 with pure chinese ROM, no Playstore, no Google Apps whatsoever. How do I install Google Apps and which type should I choose (full/micro/nano)? Any help would be appreciated.
Oh man you should buy L29

(Un)fortunately it's a gift, I had no choice from the very beginning.
you can download play store .apk and install normally
all google services are disabled in china so you will need to flash european or american rom
Follow this guide
You could rebrand to L29 - you can do this through FunkyHuawei (it costs), but you could also install Google Services:

However, this works! Just install Playstore directly from HiApp and there you go. Unfortunately, some few apps can't be installed from Playstore. It says downloading but no progress whatsoever. Doesn't really matter though, only very minor apps. Thanks for the advice!
I have the Chinese version as well ALP-AL 00
all I did was grab the Google play a PK file from X DA side loaded onto my phone and everything works beautifully.
Luckily the Google services that I use are very minimal. I use the play store Google games Google hangouts that's about it and for everything that I just listed works beautifully no problems.
No need to rebrand your phone or any of that nonsense to get Google play services working on your Chinese branded phone enjoy.

You don't need to install GMS on Mate 10, it's built in.
If you can't download app from Play Store, try give all permissions in Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> Permissions.

You need to allow the built in download app to download file bigger than 50 using mobile data, else some app wont downloaded until you get connected to wifi
Also allow storage permission for play store
Huawei send an update OTA to AL 00 and now the PlayStore didn´t work anymore (before update all was fine, installed PlayStore from HiApp). Now it´s impossible to load any Google app from Huawei HiApp Store. manually installation didn´t work, too. Install runs, but connect to update or install new apps failed. Any idea? Changing language and Country didn´t work, I´m from Germany and already tried Tanzania, Germany and China, too.

I have installed APK "Google Play Store (Version 9.1.30-all [PR] 188386236) 14,72 MB" and i can download any google app from there. I have Mate 10 ALP-AL00 8.0.0.127(SP1C00). My only one problem is with the Google Location Services or "Find My Phone" feature from Huawei Cloud. Can't get it to work, probably i'll need to flash rom

I think that feature is location-dependent. Only works in China as far as I know.
Had anyone figured out how to get Google pay working for the Chinese variant?
Sent from my ALP-AL00 using Tapatalk
I am attempting to put a thread together that includes most of the information that anyone may need when either thinking about purchasing a Chinese Mate 10 Pro, or rebranding one.
I would be interested in getting feedback from anyone who has one of the BLA-AL00 variants, and if you could list any issue you may have with that version.
Can you still use google play, what works and what doesn't work., etc etc,
My consolidation thread is Here
I hope it can be of help to others.

Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt I have an LG Watch R and I also researched about it, my watch runs Android 7.1.1 and before I had Wear OS 2.15 now I have Android Wear 2.16 and I did not get any interface change ?
Yeah I have the small zenwatch 2 and Friday it upgraded to 2.16 no interface changes. However often such changes require a Google play server side switch to be thrown so to speak. So we may yet see those changes.

I tried this on my bone stock unrooted zenwatch 2 and no soap. Did not update.
I just got it today as a surprise after weeks ago watching about the new Wear OS version on Youtube, shocked to see we get it on a ZW2 really. I do love the way the watchface is better with four corner swipes and tap and hold on the face to change it, that will cut down on users who accidentally change the watchface to a different one.
1. Not rooted yet
2. Not bootloader unlocked
3. Stock ROM
4. TWRP not installed
5. Wear OS: 2.16.0.214308073

Mine has the same version of wear os and still doesn't have the new look. My guess is this has to be activated server side once the update happens.

Galaxy store is a device specific app that needs system component to work. I've never heard of a patched galaxy store to work with every android device, but if you tell us why you need the galaxy store maybe we can solve your real problem

Well the mod needs to be updated. It wouldn't have worked either if you installed the Galaxy store. What you need is an updated patched version

Here's My Whatsapp Number.

I want to install Samsung apps on Pixel 6 Pro.
Gallery, Camera, File Manager
In the past, I was able to get the Galaxy Store sideloaded from an APK and running on a rooted Pixel XL2 by using Magisk modules to spoof the device properties. It made the Samsung Store think I had a Samsung device. It wasn't an easy process. Lots of trial and error, and I'm not sure if it would still work today.
I'm revisiting this topic to see, does anyone know a confirmed way to install the store on a rooted, non-Samsung device? Does a way exist, or does anyone know specifics on doing it with, say, a Pixel 5 or 6?

Yes, this was the only version that worked for me.
Just to add, if I enable app-twin for whatsapp it immediately says it's not certified, then disabling it stops it.
This also happens when using phone clone and copying whatsapp over when app twin was used, but I didn't realise at the time why until I set it up without phone clone.
Everything else seems ok though.

Can't be guaranteed, but I've been through two updates and it's not affected GMS
Thats good news. Cheers
Same here no issues after update
Did someone already tried to use https://apkpure.com or other "alternative" Store?
Recent method 1 and method 2 are not working. what happens is that LZPlay is not integrating the .apk as system files and for this, they do not work. Take great care of your previously installed GMS.
google has blocked all methods now
Does this not work anymore? I tried the method from redskull and during signin stage, I did not get an error and did not see the "next" button. It just get stuck at trying to signin forever and can only see the cancel button

Hello,
I have a P40 pro Plus with the buid 10.1.0.156 (C432E2R3P3) (FR).
I used the following method to downgrade to version 10.1.0.132 :

and for install GMS:

for the software used a search in Xda and you will have the solution
The only downside is that it is not possible to update the version afterwards, but it works while waiting for a possible commercial release from the USA.
Hi, I have tried RedSkull's latest guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLzeYQ9YHVI) to install google services on P40 Pro Plus (10.1.0.155), but after trying multiple times, it was not successfull. Then what I did was to follow RedSkull's guide till account creation and launching of the blue G App (pressing the blue button and let it run in the background), and then I start following the @eloygomezTv guide from that step. Only change I did was before installing the Google Play Services (from EloYGomeZTv files), I uninstalled the microG. And then I followed the guide from EloYGomeZTv with his files and viola, I was able to install it. It took me two tries though.
