Hi everyone,
I’m trying to install an Android app called Youcine Assistir on my Manjaro system using Waydroid, but the installation keeps failing with this message:
INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK
Waydroid itself is running fine, and other APKs (like VLC) install without problems. Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to fix APK installation errors in Waydroid?
System:
Manjaro GNOME 24.0
Waydroid from AUR
Kernel 6.9.12-1
If anyone has a solution please share it with me. Thanks
You cannot install android application on Manjaro - you install android application inside the waydroid container - for instructions on how to achieve that - please use the waydroid documentation
You should also read the Arch Wiki page on Waydroid as it may contain useful information - also valid for use on Manjaro
You might also consider a literal interpretation of the error message INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK – the package may be invalid.
That the package is not intended for a Manjaro system, as suggested by @linux-aarhus, is one possible reason.
Another is that the package may be damaged or obsolete; assuming it doesn’t work when installed according to respective guidelines.
Why are you running an unsupported kernel that went end-of-life (EOL) more than a year ago?
If you run the following command in a terminal, it will open the Manjaro Settings Manager GUI showing all kernels which are available for installation on your system:
manjaro-settings-manager -m msm_kernel
In the CLI, you can list available kernels with:
mhwd-kernel -l
Installed kernels can be viewed with:
mhwd-kernel -li
To install a kernel:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i <kernel-name>
For example:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux616
To view all mhwd-kernel options:
mhwd-kernel --help
