android app creation: legitimately, broken

Post by rory »

It's actually not working! I gave it a path to java, it takes it's time (like 30 seconds to compile) which I wouldn't mind, but then I go to install it and it just, doesn't work. android 8.1.
It just says: app not installed.
Please someone help me! also sorry if this is not in the right forum.

If you didn't sign it, it won't install.
If you want to install it without signing it, make sure debugger is on.

Really not sure why SpiderBasic doesn't have the ability to sign the APK's for you.

I also had the same problem. I used Google to find a solution and came up with this. I downloaded from the Play Store the app called APK Editor. Run it, pick "Select an Apk File", find and pick your APK, pick "Common Edit", then find "Install Location" and change it to any of the other choices. For me, "Internal Only" works best. Then save it and install it from the Editor.

This is the only way I can install apps from SpiderBasic.
