    Hello,

    As I was having issues, I recently upgraded to Buildbox 2.3.8 upon the advice from Buildbox support and can now create the APK file through Android Studio, but when transferring the file to my phone and attempting to install the app I get the message "App not installed". I have developer mode enabled on my phone as well as allowing apps from unknown sources. Happy to post my phone's spec if this helps also.

    Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Are there any fixes for this? I am desperately trying to get my game working on my phone so that I can iterate it in Buildbox.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    That happens to me when I tried to put my game apk file on to my tablet. What I did was to download a Apk editor. I followed a video on YouTube.

    Hi Phil, thanks for replying. If you have it to hand, could you provide the link of the video you saw on YouTube? I've seen a couple but the comments are usually quite negative so I was reluctant to try it - especially since this happens sporadically. Thanks.

    @spicedbeangames yeah I used that exact solution and it worked originally. I'm getting the error randomly now though, even with that fix.

    @Phil H thanks for the video link, I'll give it a go
