@mmarciniak90 I wasn't able to reproduce this bug on android 6.0 emulator.

[mmarciniak90]

@shobhitagarwal1612 I verified on emulator and also I do not see this bug.
I use the real device Samsung Z3 (D6603) with Android 6.0.1 and there the problem is visible.

@mmarciniak90 Thanks for confirming. I am downloading the Android 4.2 emulator for testing on that as well

[shobhitagarwal1612]

There is a problem while installing apk in the android 4.2 emulator so someone with a physical device should look into this

@shobhitagarwal1612 what's the problem? Any logs?

[shobhitagarwal1612]

Both me and @lognaturel have been experiencing this problem with API 16 and API 17 emulators since past few weeks. The emulator shows that 'virtual sd card' is not available required for installing the app

[grzesiek2010]

ok so I'll look at it using our real devices.

[grzesiek2010]

I made a quick investigation yesterday and I was able to reproduce the issue using one of mentioned devices but interestingly only if I install the app using .apk file! Everything is ok if I install the app directly using Android Studio. So it's a bit strange. At first glance I wasn't able to see anything strange in logs as well.
I'll try to investigate logs deeper and I'll check the beta version from the store.

@lognaturel
I can confirm that everything is ok if we install the app from Google Play or using Android Studio. The problem occurs only when I build the app on my own and only on some particular devices. So it's something really odd and I can't see anything helpful in the logs.

The most important thing is as I said it works if we use Google Play. I think we can close this issue.

[lognaturel]

Really strange. I agree with @grzesiek2010, let's close for now and reopen if a user reports it.
