HomerS 8 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi, Just bought the android client but I can't install in on my Tablet with Android 4.3. I get an error saying "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card". Other apps install just fine and I even tried to wipe everything as I want to use it for MB3 mainly but still it's the same error. Found others who had the same problem with some apps but the suggestions to dismount my SD card ord to delete some hidden files didn't help me , but there must be something that your installer is doing that other apps doesn't. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Have you tried going to the google play store app in settings->apps and clicking clear data? Then trying to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to run the beta by installing the APK and that worked fine. Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm not building any installer. My app is uploaded to the Play Store as an apk and Google handles the deployment on the client. So I have no control over what happens there. Since your tablet is obviously rooted, I'd suggest installing any one of the logcat tools from the Play Store and capturing a log of the install process, it might shed some light on why the install is failing.

Redshirt 1487 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So that error points to your sd card. It can't create a secure partition to install the app. I do not declare in my AndroidManifest.xml that it should prefer external storage, so I'm not sure what the deal is there. I wonder if it's a bad OS rom, but that's a pita to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
