Note: The extension is now updated to AndroidX libs.
First, I want to congratulate you on your excellent work. I used your solution to create a private (non-commercial) app for my family and your part worked perfectly. But I need your help and the community to finish this my app, because it’s still not 100% complete and as I need it for my family’s use. As we all have cars with Android Auto, I’m putting in this app I’m creating an installer of useful apps for use on Android Auto, like Screen2Auto, Fermata Auto, and more. The problem is that this type of app needs some authentication (this I think) to be installed by another app, such as the AAStore and AAAD apps. When I try to install some of these apps from the app I was creating with your install solution, the app doesn’t work properly on Android Auto. Could you and the community help me with this? Just tell me how I get it and I’ll have all the trouble to do, no problem. I look forward to your help and the community please!!!

I checked my extension again. I built an test APK. No issues …
App work as expected. There might be problem with something else …
I got the Error too.
I checked it again on Android 11: no problems at all.
Create a test app with only my extension and test … it will work …

Yeah, I think it conflicts with a other Component or Extension.
Above error is mainly caused when two extension of a project have same library. And this extension does not contain any library as I can guess by its size. So I think there are other extension of your project are generating this error.

Seems like a pretty small Library because export has worked before import.
Post the aia (before importing my extension) or send it to me via PM.
@Ded_Sec_00 I checked your aia. There seems to be a conflict with the Draco extension. Remove it and the APK will be created.
Is it possible to use it together? I need both extensions 
Hi Anke.
I’ve used your extension for a while now, but a few days ago I bought Alarm Manager
Link to extension here
After making a test project and got it working I was importing it to my main project. But there I get error when compiling. After some testing it seems like your InstallAPK extension and Alarm manager extension are having trouble together, any idea if this is something I can fix, or is it same problem as the others, with library and cannot be fixed?
The error is same as Ded_Sec_00 - so I guess there’s nothing to do but remove one of those aix?
Ok, I’ve tested on main app and a test app myself, and don’t get it to compile 
I just made another “Update app” as a workaround. On main app initialize it checks version, if new version it lets user start the other app and download, install and go back to main app. The only downside are that the user has to install 2 apps for this to work.
But I will have another try and see if it was just that day something was wrong or if it continues with error when compiling 
Btw, ty for the feedback 
Ok, I tested it with these versions:
But I found also version 4 of TaifunAlarm… , checked it again and you are correct, it doesn’t compile.

Try this one (which has another packageName, so remove the other version):
de.bodymindpower.installApk.aix (9.9 KB)
Note: This version was created using Rush.

I will try when I get home 
Can I use this extension to update the app regularly
