Some Android apps are NOT working on Jolla C
 

I've noticed that many of the Android apps are NOT compatible with Jolla C.... I can't install them from the Play Store, neither as an installable apk file...
They worked all perfectly fine on the old Jolla.... :(

Here are 2 of them that I can think of right now that they don't work on Jolla C, but working perfectly fine on Jolla

Ezan Vakti Pro Plus:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...anvaktiproplus

Flitsmeister:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...l.flitsmeister

When trying out to install the apk, it tries to install, then suddenly it says app cannot be installed.

Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Edit: Fix can be found here

I'm still waiting for shipping information of my Jolla C.

What is the problem when you try to install these Android apps? Do you get an error?

I've checked the journalctl, and this is the output:

I tested the Flitsmeister-App using apkpure and also can't install it on my Jolla C. But it's the first APK that doesn't work - all my other Android apps installed right away.
Then I try to install your app on Android Cyanogenmod 13 (Google free one) - also didn't work!

About 2 years ago I had a regional messaging app installed on Jolla1. Surprisingly I couldn't install the same app on Cyanogenmod (same error you have now). When I logged the install process, I found out that installation failed because of missing libraries (in that case Google map APIs). After manually adding them, installation worked.

But I never figured out why I could install it on Jolla1, without Google Play or anything googlish installed, but not on Cyanogenmod Android. I'm no pro in such things at all, but looks like Alien Dalvik on Jolla 1 had something set up to bypass this issue.

Solved the problem by adding the missing library!
it was the com.google.android.maps library that is missing. Works great now!

I've made a simple ReadMe on how to get PlayStore (including this fix).

If you still cannot install the app, run the following command as root

Then install it again. The terminal should show you the reason why it isn't installing.
