Well, your error is slightly different, froxy had "There was a problem parsing the package".me too having the same problem any solution to this? thanks
Let's assume your apk file is alright. I can't confirm this issue on my side either. So next one on the list are your devices.
Out of all phones and tablets there's always tiny percentage that just won't work: devices from some fancy weird manufacturers that allow only 64 bit apps to run, too modern or shady Android builds that have all kinds of locks or don't give needed permissions for app execution, even the way you have configured your devices or software you have installed may be the source of the trouble. And this is just the tip of a damn iceberg...
If the cause is something like this, then all I can do is narrow down the list of the problems as much as possible.
For the record, this apk is a 32 bit app and not for virtual machines, so don't report back errors if you're trying to install it on a 64 bit-only device or on the emulator.
First thing you should do is get as many Android devices as you can and try installing troublesome apk on them. If it'll work, then the issue is with your other device, duh.
Secondly, check your settings and permissions, search some info about your device, maybe it's a common issue and there's an easy solution to it, like switching some hidden option.
In case previous advice didn't help, here is your last hope. Try to install and launch all these apks and write back the results.
Yeah, checked it, your apk is okay.Here is the link to the file I tried to install (added 'borked' so it's more obvious):

I don't think file got corrupted on my end since I tried following:
In all cases the same message appeared. Naturally, I have enabled installing from unknown sources and all that stuff since this message appears after installation progress bar reaches 2/3 (just a few seconds).
- Download on PC and then transfer the file to my phone and also my table manually (via cable)
- Download on my phone (One Plus running android 12) via your download link. The phone doesn't have any AV or anything else that could tamper with my downloads (as far as I know)
- Download on my tablet (Lenovo running android 12) same as with my phone
Only thing that my devices have in common, that I can see, is android 12 but surely that shouldn't be the case.
Ah, recent OS... Most likely it's Android 12 being picky. I made tests on phones with much older Android 5, 7, 8, 9. So you better try some older devices.
Also, have you installed apks from repository/torrent, 17) in particular? It'd be super strange if they just worked on your devices.
I have an archive of alternative apks with different settings that were made while experimenting on the best version for one you're having troubles with. Try them, this is a last resort option.
Well, guys. If none of the above solutions worked on any of your devices then you're just out of luck, badly. I tried. Really. This is sad. I'm sad.
P.S. Deleted links as the issue was resolved.
