Is this a new update? The Play Store used to show me what permissions the app required before installing. Now it just installs the app without that pop-up. Can I get that feature back? I can't find any information on it anywhere. My phone is running 7.1. Thanks!

When I'm updating my published apps through the Play Store developer console, it doesn't send a notification to current users that there is an update available. Perhaps my procedure is not correct?
I'm uploading the new apk with version codes incremented. Then I activate the new apk and deactivate the previous apk. Then I unpublish and republish and it usually takes Play Store about an our to reflect the change. But I never receive an update notification, even though I have the app installed.
Advise please, thanks.

Your question is missing some details so to me sounds vague. I use the Galaxy Nexus and notifications are not pushed out as soon as an update is available. I have not looked into the correct timeframe the play store on the phone will update, then push out those notifications, but there are plenty of times that I won't get a notification, then get them when I open the play store. So my question to you is, when you open the market, while your app is installed, does it say that its installed and an update is available?
Hello xda world,
I have a personal android device that I have joined to my companies network and as part of the MDM policy the google play store gets hidden. Company is 60k+ employees, so there's no hope of getting an exception.
So far I've managed to side load about 90% of the applications I need via android drawer but this only works for free apps, I can't load any of the apps I've purchased from the Play store without the play app.
I have tried to sideload the play store, and it seems to install fine, but doesn't show anywhere in the app drawer, or under the app information in the settings menu.
I've also tried to go to play.google.com to install via web, but the device in question isn't listed as an available target for install (presumably because I've never logged into play from it).
I have read-only filesystem access to the device, is the a way to manually execute the binary that launches the play store? If so, does anyone know where it's located? I checked /system/apps/ and it's not there.
Any other ideas on how I can unhide or launch the play store app so I can get my purchased apps loaded back onto my device?
If you can't see the Play Store in the app drawer, it isn't installed properly. If you wish to try, install Terminal Emulator and run this command (to open the Play Store):
Code:
am start -n com.android.vending/.AssetBrowserActivity

Hey. My name is Sadcamp. I'm not really acquainted with how everyone here forums and all, but I'll give this my best shot.
Recently, I was working on fixing my Play Store, because of an app that blocked some of Google Service IP's, disabling my ability to access the store. So, using Root Uninstaller, I removed the Play Store app off of my phone, which as many of you know, removes the Play Store from /system/app. Hoping for it to be fixed, I got an APK of the most recent version and installed it on my phone. To my distaste, nope. I investigated further and journeyed to the mystical file called "hosts". I researched and found that the Google IP's were blocked. So, as recommended, I renamed the hosts file and restarted the device, clearing it all up.
Then, about an hour ago when I went to install an app from the Play Store, it stopped working (at the point where you press Ok/Yes to accept permissions and all). So, I whipped out CatLog, which I recommend if you ever have a problem with your phone, and saw that the phone was giving out messages like "Google Play APK file not found" and stuff of the such. After tracing some of my steps back, I figured this was because, as mentioned in the last paragraph, that I removed the Play Store from /system/app. That being said, I whipped out Lucky Patcher, commanded it to move my Play Store app to /system/app, rebooted my phone, and voila. Just as it had been before all of this crazy stuff had happened.
So, All in all, (TL;DR)
If your Play Store app won't download or update anything, and closes upon opening, consult CatLog, or you could just skip to what I did by using Lucky Patcher and moving the Play Store app to /system/app.
Hope this helped for those who have these kinds of problems. Love your faces!
Hello,
I have a rooted Oneplus 3T with android 6.0.1.
I tried to use the Freedom app, but it gave me problems with the Play Store, so I uninstalled it and restored the hosts file.
But I still had problems with in app purchases and the Play Store always asked me to accept Terms and Conditions.
Clearing Play Store cache didn't help, so I cleared Play Store data and everything is working now.
The only problem is that my apps list inside Play Store is now empty.
If I search for an already installed app, it gives me the possibility to update/open the app, and then it appears among the installed apps on my device.
Is there a way to force Play Store to check for all installed apps instead of doing it manually?
Thanks in advance!
Did you ever figure out a solution for this? Just had the same problem happen to me.
I like bbc whether apk. A few days ago they blocked this app and without opening account and login in you can't use this apk. Ridiculous. I found on the web older version of the apk without any restrictions. Just works as it should. But now google play store wants to update it to the newest version with restrictions. Is there any solution to get rid of apk from google play store but keep still the old one in the phone?
