Hey all, not sure where to put this sounds like an app developer question maybe....?
Anyone notice that you can't use the latest version of Netflix on yalp app store or apkmirror? Latest is 7.2.1 in yalp but the only one that seems to work for me is 6.26.1, the latest one from apkmirror.
I am trying to go google free, no google apps or services at all, just lineage os. Everything was going great, installed my main apps from apkmirror. Then thought I would try f-droid and found yalp and aurora app stores.
Yalp found that there was an update for Netflix, tried to update manually but a weird error popped up saying I couldn't install the app, it said it needed root or privileged mode to install and couldn't install because it was split or something.
So I tried to install manually by downloading the .apk to downloads but got about 5 files? I installed the biggest one and it seemed to have updated to the latest version but now it constantly crashes when I try to open it, it doesn't work anymore.
Could google have changed the way apks install so that we have to use their store to install these new formatted apks?
BTW, I was fully able to use the latest 7.x.x app version before when I had gapps installed on my rooted los 14.1, I could even install updates straight from the play store instead of apkmirror recently, so I don't think that root restriction applies to the Netflix app anymore, they found a better one.....
Is this a known issue on yalp or the dev community?
Edit: never mind, I duckduckgoed it and found an app to install those split apks for me, worked like a charm. I did notice that yalp downloaded less files this time for the Netflix app to install, 3 files instead of 5-6. I used SAI ver 1.17, this should be built in to yalp and aurora store.
Edit2: turns out that error in yalp meant that because the apk has a few files, it needs root permission to install. I uninstalled Netflix and tried to install again in yalp with root and it works! No need for another app it turns out.

Downloaded an apk pack from the interweb and installed a few apps.
Loaded it up via pc and then clicked on file and it installed. When I go into the market its saying I don't have this app installed? I also installed a game and under settings this appears but not the app?
Is there a way of updating this app as cannot update it via market ? Tried the non paid version of Titanium back up but no use. From searching read Trackdog app. maybe able to do this. Anyone confirm
Is there a way or is the market such it wont let it update?
I was gonna ask same question
I don't think there's any solution for what you are asking. But you can try this: install AppBrain App Market from the market. This app will show all your installed apps, no matter if you installed them straight from the market or other sources. There's an option to sync the apps with AppBrain and if a newer version of your installed apps comes out on the market it will prompt you to update. Obviously, you won't be able to update the apps straight from the market (if they were installed from other sources), but at least you will know there's a new version of the app in the market and then you can try to get the new version from alternate sources. I use this app for Google Plus and some other apps from the market which are not available for my country. This isn't a solution, merely an intermediate step to find out if your apps need to be updated I think Trackdog does exactly the same thing as AppBrain.
I'm running a Moto X 2013 (XT1053) with 4.4.4 stock rom and currently not rooted. For years I've use the gallery app called QuickPic. This app was recently sold to Cheetah Mobile, and I've decided that I just want to stay with the last version by the original developer and not update this app anymore. I uninstalled QuickPic from my phone, deleted the entry from the Play Store list of apps currently or previously installed, and then side loaded the appropriate apk for the version of QuickPic I'm interested in keeping. When I go into the Play Store, it is still showing QuickPic for update. I didn't think side loaded apps were associated with the Play Store. Can someone clarify or suggest a method to disassociate this app with the store.
Sideloaded apps are if their signature is the same as the one in the Play Store. If you search here in the forums, there are at least a couple of QuickPic 4.5.2 apks (pre-Cheetah) with different signatures you can download, or you can download & install the TBO Updater from Team BlackOut here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283828 and install the "Dual-Themed QuickPic" from Iced Venti Mocha in the "Main BlackOut Apps" menu.
Alternately, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to break the Market link for the version you have installed.
Excellent - thank you. I'll look for the alternate apk's. I have Ti Backup Pro, but didn't think it worked without root. I'll probably go back to root after doing the 5.1 update.
You would need root, yes. Here's one page you can get the apk from:

I think there is another but can't find it at the moment.

Alright, first, I should point out that I'm not a developer, I've never worked with adb and so on. I'm posting here because I don't know where else to post.
So, I'm trying to install Tekken mobile on my phone (Galaxy S8 Exynos version, Android 7.0, rooted with Magisk and I also have TWRP). When I search the game in the Google Play store app, it doesn't show up. I have to search the play store in the browser and open it in the Play Store from there. If I press install it downloads normally, but when it gets to the installing phase, it gives me an error 910. If I try to sideload it, the apk installer fails to install it and says that the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name. But the game isn't already installed on my phone. The whole story is: I actually had the game installed and needed to update it, but the update would fail (Google Play Store error 910), so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, error 910 again, I tried to sideload it and the packages are in conflict for some reason, even though the game isn't installed. Can anyone help me fix this?

I had Netflix, then when I found out they had an update I tried to find it on the play store to get that update and couldn't find it, stupid me I just thought that I could just delete and install the app again, and now it's nowhere to be found. Is there any way I can get the app back? Even if it's on al older version??
I'm on Android 10 with Magisk installed.
You have to instal Magisk, Check CTS and hide google and Netflix App
It will work
Or just sideload the app, it will work fine.
