So, I've made 2 logcats, one on the samsung p600(android5.1.1) and one on samsung s8(android 7.0)

logcat p600.docx

logcat samsung s8.docx

Thanks for those, could you try this build for us:

I've tried it on my devices, all are working fine except my samsung s8(android 7.0) wich gave me the same error like it did before: "Package installer has stopped".
Below you can find the logcat.

I read on this link- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54128272/update-app-via-apk-download-with-url-not-showing-open-done-screen - that installing an app is different on newer devices (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24, meaning android 7.0 nougat ), and you need to ask user to grant permission from settings like we do on samsung 9(android 9) and lenovo tab(android 9).

Also, I've noticed in my new logcat:
Permission Denial: opening provider com.distriqt.extension.packagemanager.content.PackageManagerFileProvider from ProcessRecord{a4d5eae 27934:com.google.android.packageinstaller/u0a34} (pid=27934, uid=10034) that is not exported from uid 10248...
So my first thought was if you treated correctly sdk 24 on your ANE.

Hello again. Do you have any news on this?

from ane-packagemanager.

We are still looking into this one.

Can you try this build:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zviif5547x363wv/com.distriqt.PackageManager.v2.0.014.zip?dl=0

from ane-packagemanager.

Regarding your question on requesting permissions you are following the docs on checking canRequestApplicationInstalls and allowing unknown sources? This was only introduced in android 26 not 24.

https://github.com/distriqt/ANE-PackageManager/wiki/u.Installing-Apps

However there are other grant permissions that changed earlier.

Yes, I check for "canRequestApplicationInstalls" first, if false then I use "PackageManager.service.showManageUnknownAppSourcesSettings();" , user checks unknown sources in settings, after that, in my app:
"if(PackageManager.service.canRequestApplicationInstalls == true){
..
PackageManager.service.installApplication( apkfile.nativePath );
}"

Now your last ANE build work's fine on all my devices.

Thank you.
