Cannot install to tablet Amazon Kindle HD8

Open PSLLSP opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I cannot install Binary Eye to tablet Amazon Kindle HD8 (8th gen). F-Droid and Google Play Store report that the device is not compatible with this app. That is a strange.

Barcode Scanner from ZXing team runs on this tablet without any issue...

Hm, strange indeed 🤔 Frankly, I have no idea why the app wouldn't run on that hardware.

Currently, the only limitation is processor architecture, which needs to be either armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a. But according to the specs, the HD8 has a ARM Cortex-A53 which is arm64-v8a, so this can't be the issue.

Is it possible to install the APK directly from GitHub? https://github.com/markusfisch/BinaryEye/releases/tag/1.59.0

I installed BinaryEye.apk directly from GitHub and it works! It looks like report from F-Droid and Google store that application is not compatible with my tablet were wrong...

I created a screenshot from F-Droid, note the message at the bottom of the page No versions compatible with device.

That's interesting 🤔 Thank you for trying! And glad it did work 😄

I will have to check if there's anything I can do to mark the app as compatible.
