Samsung Galaxy A10S apk not installed

[anon11]

 samsung galaxy A10S apk not installed, already set install unknown apps but still wont do a thing, this keeps happening "app not installed". also when it comes to compatibility playstore says its compatible with my phone, its just happen that im going to install and apk for a third party app. please help thank you

The problem is the compatibility from the store. You are literally buying a debugged apk from the store. Which I guess can be called third party. You are going to have to try to find it somewhere else like Amazon.

This might be because the APK file is incompatible with the version of Android you have, or the APK file is corrupted.

Extremely likely that the apk was packaged for a different android architecture. Meaning, if you have a 32 bit system (Armv7) and if the app was only prepared and packaged for a 64 bit device (Arm64), this is likely why you're running into this issue.

And since you're on an A10s, I am going to assume it's a 32 bit device since it's one of samsungs slightly older budget devices.

Hope this explains things well!!

i hope there's a software update where it upgrades it into 64 bit because some apps are not available and cannot be installed, thank you!
