17: API: Nearby.EXPOSURE_NOTIFICATION_API is not available on this device about exposure-notifications-android HOT 27 OPEN

@tschwade With the Latvian app you can test whether your device has appropriate Google Play Services installed, and how the advertised BLE beacons look like - but yes, if your Google account is not white-listed by Google as an official developer of such app, you can't use that app to access the API :(

so...

Somehow this issue solved itself for me, I did reinstall the app and it still happened but then yesterday evening I checked again and suddenly it worked. Maybe this was some weird roll out glitch.

Hi,
We understand the Google-Apple policy for the need to get the approval from Google Play App Review before allowing Health Authorities from a Country to publish App using Exposure_Notification. We approve this approch as well.

However, following @indrasenakatam 's comment is there a work-around solution that allow us to make unit-testing without having to ask for Exposure-Notification API from Google Play ?

Thanks in advance for your reply

from exposure-notifications-android.

Try this official app from Latvia: https://apturicovid.lv/#en --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.spkc.gov.apturicovid

NO. It is not official Google API, so... SPAM???

What makes you think that the Latvian app is not using the official Google API?
Google Play Services certainly think it is:

(The "Corona-Warn" app is the German official app, however on my devices it's self-built from the open source repo, and therefore that app shows the "17: API..." error message, as in the title of this issue.)

from exposure-notifications-android.

Same version of Google Play Services as niklas88: 20.18.17 (120400-411416286, and while there was no "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" in Settings-Google a few hours ago, it appeared now. But when I click on it, the screen goes blank (white).

@tjohns as continue with my question above, Can you please a suggest a workaround for unit testing.
Thanks in advance.

Same Here.

Same problem, even updated to the latest version of Google Play Services.

from exposure-notifications-android.

Same issue on Sony Xperia XZ1 with Android 9. Is there a workaround, or where do we get the API?

Try this official app from Latvia: https://apturicovid.lv/#en --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.spkc.gov.apturicovid

from exposure-notifications-android.

The only official COVID tracking app I know that makes use of the exposure notification API is the Swiss app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.admin.bag.dp3t

If this app does not complain the exposure notification API is fully working on that device.

Unfortunately, I cannot install this one from the Play Store ("This item isn't available in your country."). The one from Latvia worked, though.

from exposure-notifications-android.

Very beatiful. First we are here trying to compile with google API, if I would like to install (or extract code) whatever I´d go to Google Play. Finally in this case i prefer not to trust anything that i haven't personally compiled with the google api. I hope It is very clear now

from exposure-notifications-android.

@akenateb I think I understand, but I hope this will help you to see a difference between an app that 'somebody' compiles themselves, and an app that the official health authority of a country distributes. The latter can access the API, the former cannot.

Thanks, but my goal was to build and test this german app under construction, so a different app would be of no use for me.

from exposure-notifications-android.

I just installed the German Corona-Warn App via the Play Store (published today) and I'm getting this error.
This is on a stock and up to date Android 10 Pixel 3A, Bluetooth is on, Location Services and Location History is on, I'm in Germany (though the OS language is English) and there are absolutely zero special OS interfering Apps like anti virus or such.
The error code is UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE(39507)

@niklas88 which version of Google Play Services is installed?
(And there's no self-compiled app on the same device, right?)

from exposure-notifications-android.

According to the Play Services Info App I've got Version 20.18.17 (120400-411416286). Updated May 27. There are no updates in the Play Store and no there is no self compiled app on the device. The Android build number is: QQ3A.200605.002 and I don't even have the developer mode on with this device.

from exposure-notifications-android.

The "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" screen in Settings-->Google should look like this:

from exposure-notifications-android.

@mh- almost. For me it shows the Corona-Warn app (and only that app) but the "Turn off Exposure Notifications" button is greyed out. And it says "To turn on COVID-19 exposure notifications , open an available app"

from exposure-notifications-android.

we were authorized to use the api and we were testing it 2 weeks ago. now both our android phone (Samsung S9, Moto E) stopped working with the same error (Nearby not available for this device). Interesting though, we installed the pre-built and it worked.

from exposure-notifications-android.

I had a lot of those preinstalled Google-"benefits" disabled, because they interfered with my settings and executed updates and synchronizations without me knowing and which I hadn't authorized or even actively switched off. I had "Google Play Services" (what a name!) active, though, which I thought was enough. I had to activate the entire "Google" thing in addition, though, and now the "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" work and the App, too.
As soon as I see any changes, updates and synchroniziations on my device which aren't authorized be me or even prohibited, the App will get wiped from my device and I'll restore the save condition again, which I worked really hard on.

I had the same behavior and GPS version on an Android 7 device. Apparently, an update of GPS was available through Apps -> Google Play Services -> App Details (which opens the app in Google Play). This is now 20.21.17 (040304-....) and the German app now seems to work. Initially another error popped up (error 9002), but after reenabling exposure logging, the error did not reappear.

The Swiss covid app successfully generated my keys and activated my covid19 tracking here in California usa. Not sure about the effectiveness if people have to jump that hoop to turn it on since no one will be really doing that en masse.
