I also have 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.

SOLUTION !!!

Thats it !!! :D :D :D

Big thanks for your help.

I can not edit the AndroidManifest.xml inside the .apk, but I can remove the permission "Install Location" from the Manifest complete.

I dit it on my PC.

This .apk will install! I saw my splashscreen and then a black screen.... I dont know what this problem ist, but I will find it out!

Did you tried to enable the debugger when uploading your app ? If not, you need to sign it.
