Hello,
I’m new to /e/, when installing some Synology app from the store, some of them, don’t install : When I click install, the button blink but come back to “install”. Synology “DS Cam” intall work but not " Synology Photos" or " Synology Chat".

Here is the adb logcat:

If it can help : it was the version of android : stable for S7 is android 7, after upgrading to dev Oreo android 8 it works :grinning:
An error message will be more than welcome !
I find it when I try to push an APK with adb.

if I read you correctly:

  • you’d welcome a better error message from /e/ Apps, that the failing installation is due to the Android Version used?
  • you finally saw a better error message from Android when using adb install directly on the apk when still in Nougat (Android 7)
  • then updated to Oreo and it worked

Yes, exacty, the adb message is very technical but helped me : Requires newer sdk version #26 (current version is #25)

An error message like : “This application need an newer version of android” will be good, and better if it tell the needed version.
