In-app updates fail on MIUI devices with optimizations enabled (AppCenter SDK 4.3.1+)
Description
The in-app update feature is non-functional when MIUI optimization is enabled in appCenter version 5.0.2, the latest release. However, earlier appCenter version 4.3.1 does allow in-app updates to work properly even with MIUI optimization turned on.
This suggests a regression bug was introduced in appCenter version 5.0.2, causing in-app updates to fail on devices with MIUI optimizations enabled. Asking users to disable MIUI optimizations is not an acceptable workaround, as this would inconvenience users and potentially annoy them. Instead, developers should consider downgrading to the previous stable release, appCenter 4.3.1, as a temporary workaround.
Repro Steps
Please list the steps used to reproduce your issue.
- Refer to the Microsoft documentation to configure the AppCenter SDK in an Android app properly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/sdk/getting-started/android
- Release an app built through AppCenter and install it on a Xiaomi device with MIUI optimization enabled.
- Upload a new version increment of the app to AppCenter.
- Launch the app on the Xiaomi device and initiate the in-app update flow when prompted.
- Check LogCat in Android Studio after in-app update failure. An "INSTALL_FAILED_ABORTED" error related to permissions will be logged, indicating the update was blocked by MIUI optimizations.

As we do not have plans to fix this bug in the next year, I'm closing the issue. However, contributions are still welcome.
Do you have any plans to communicate with the Miui team to fix this issue? It seems it's related to them
Hi guys,
I got the same error on Pixel 6 as well, and I fixed this issue by adjusting the CANCEL_TIMEOUT from 1000 to 3000. Can you take a look? @DmitriyKirakosyan
Thanks!

Hi @francisleetang , thanks for reaching out! Your case seems to be a duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-android/issues/1680.
What SDK version are you using? Could you enable verbose logging and check if you can find the log "Canceling installation due to lack of progress." in logcat?
Hi @francisleetang , thanks for reaching out! Your case seems to be a duplicate of #1680.

Hey @DmitriyKirakosyan, thanks for replying.
I'm using 5.0.4 sdk, and yes, there's a log "Canceling installation due to lack of progress." when installation fails. Is it legal if I created sdk locally by myself with this fix and integrate the sdk in my app?
@francisleetang , Thanks for the confirmation!
Yes, you can use your fork of the SDK to work around this issue. However, please note that this is not an officially supported solution, and we won't be able to provide support or troubleshoot any issues you may encounter with your modified version of the SDK.
Can CANCEL_TIMEOUT be made configurable at runtime to avoid having to fork?
Hi @benjaminRomano,
It seems they won’t address this because the repository is scheduled to be archived and will no longer be maintained after March 2025. When I raised this issue, I was informed that it wouldn’t be resolved for the same reason.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but you can still use version 4.3.1 or switch to the forked project until next year.
It's a shame that this parameter was never exposed for configuration.
I tried some tricks to reflectively modify the private static final CANCEL_TIMEOUT but didn't end up having any luck with that approach. I assume things are more locked down in newer versions of Android.
I ended up forking AppCenter SDK 😕
