Need app for new job, device not compatible - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I tried to install an app which I need to authenticate from home office at a new job. App store says "device not compatible" probably because it's an older Android (5.1). The app is called "Duo Mobile App" . Is there a way to install that app anyways or update to newer Android version. Is an unknown Chinese device (doogee x3)..

Android developers can restrict their apps to certain devices, countries, and minimum versions of Android.
Google Play Store, before downloading an app, looks inside Android's system file build.prop to see whether device matches the criteria set by app developer.
If your Android isn't already rooted, you can try to download the app in question from another app store, for example APKPURE which doesn't do the check. Be aware that NOT installing apps via Google Play Store is always risky. Duo Mobile is available on APKPURE.
If your Android is rooted then you edit its build.prop accordingly, means change the entry that defines the model of your device.

Downloaded it from as apkpure. It says "there was a problem while parsing the package"

Installation gives the specified error because
package is compiled against on higher API level: The app in question is compiled for Android 6+.
That fact is clearly mentioned on APKPURE.
You've to download one of app's versions that date from 2018: These are Android 5 conformant!

You probably have a version on your phone that you didn't download from the Market. To solve that you need to uninstall that version that you have on your phone and the install the one from the Market.

Hi all,
I wish to try certain apps from Google Play but they show as "Device not compatible" and won't let me install the app.
Is there a way to bypass this?
Thanks.

What you can do is what as known as sideloading the app's apk file. To do this first you will need to find the .apk file for the app you want to install by searching online (Only search for free apps online never sideload paid apps without first having purchased the app and/or contacting the developer of the app first) then once you have the app's apk file transfer it to your phone. Once it's on your phone make sure that the install from unknown sources option is checked under System Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources. After you have done that navigate on your phone to where you transferred the app that you wanted to install's apk file then click on the app and it will ask you if you want to install the app. After the app is finished installing you are good to go and the app should be ready for you to use. Let me know if you still have questions!
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried sideloading but usually if the app gets updated regularly or requires the most recent update to work (ie. King's Bounty) that is where I come unstuck.
Just trying to find a way to "trick" Google Play to think that my phone (S Advance) is compatible with all apps.

The other options you could try is using the app Market Helper or Market Enabler that allows you to spoof your device and trick's the Play Store into letting you download apps that the Play Store claims are "incompatible with your device".

[Q] all markets show me wrong applications updates

Hello:
I use 1Mobile, Aptoide, MoboMarket, F-Droid, AppCenter , all alternative markets. I have noticed that all report application updates, but depending on what is contained in their respective folders download, not by applications that I have actually installed.
For example, I use Firefox 33.0 and update to 34.0 release using 1Mobile, and then MoboMarket tells me there is a new update 34.0, the same that I downloaded and installed by 1Mobile not valued by MoboMaket...
What can I need to fix this...?
Thanks

Can't install apks

When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

the app you trying to install, unmodified one, go apkmirror.com and search for it, it should list different version, some apps has arm and arm64 version, download it to your phone, and install it.
your s9/s9+ are arm64

Emm nobody?
Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.

how to uninstall beta gcamera app downloaded from unknown installation source

I have a new phone. Samsung Galaxy A50s. Model number SM-A507FN
I downloaded Arnova's Beta 6: GCam_5beta6.200105.0445build-7.2.018.apk
for Android 9+ phones from https: // ww w. celsoazevedo. com/files/android/google-camera/dev-suggested assuming it will work on my phone. However, the app has been crashing frequently and it does not work. I have upgraded the software of the phone so it was upgraded to Android 10. Kernel 4.14.62-17887617.
This app was not installed from play store so I don't know how to uninstall it now. So please let me know how to uninstall this app. It not appear in the list of installed apps either in settings or in the play store.
Because you didn't install the app from Google Play, that's why this app doesn't appear on your play store's installed apps list. I think the reason why your apk file keeps crashing and not working is that the installed apk version isn't compatible with your device system. So it's important to find a proper apk file before downloading. Maybe you can find some useful infor abt the compatibility between device version and app version in this article apktovi.com/blogs/how-to-find-a-proper-variant-for-apk-download.
And if you're lookin' for a way to uninstall apk file, you can apply the following simple steps: Go to "My file" application>search for the apk file>long press and tap "Delete" in the upper right-hand corner. Hope this helps!!
