Requirement: "adb install" is not possible due to USB write restrictions on my machine. So, I can only install the .apk file via phone memory.

Issue: “App is not installed” error occurs when trying to sideload APK from external sources (ask file from internal/external phone memory).

Device Info: Samsung M30S [Android 11]

Please Note: I checked below

  • The phone has sufficient Storage
  • Installation from unknown sources in device settings is allowed
  • Did clean installed not the update
  • Tried to install on different devices (2 devices)

Tried almost all available options which I found over the internet. Some are as below, but none worked:

  • Disabling Google Play Protect
  • Resetting App Preferences
  • Tried APKs created with different ABIs

One possible reason could be the corrupted app, but I am not sure about it as this is getting installed on the emulator and a few days back same was getting installed on phone as well. Even the older .apk files are getting installed properly but not the new ones.

Any help/leads in this are highly appreciated.

  • You can get help with your coding. I see no code. – blackapps Jul 26 '21 at 19:31
  • The code base is too heavy to post here. Moreover I don't think any code sharing is required here. – Akki Jul 27 '21 at 04:25
  • APK Editor [https://www.digitbin.com/apk-editor-download/] as suggested by many over the internet also not helping. – Akki Jul 27 '21 at 04:50
  • Code base too heavy? Strange. Code to install an apk has been posted before. – blackapps Jul 27 '21 at 05:13
  • @blackapps As said in my question, I am ownloading .apk to my device's My files. And then installing it manually (double click on .apk file). So, which code do you want here? – Akki Jul 27 '21 at 05:27
  • You are on a coding site. If you are not a programmer you should look for another forum to post your problem. Wrong place here. – blackapps Jul 27 '21 at 06:04
