this package does not exist, try to search it via --search before about gplaycli HOT 17 CLOSED

Same here. I faked an android ID, but I am not sure this is linked...
Edit : Generated an android ID and it worked

from gplaycli.

I see this on quite a few packages, even after regenerating the android ID.

$ gplaycli -s maps.me

Duplicate ? #27

from gplaycli.

I don't believe it's a duplicate. There are some apps that gplaycli will either 1) refuse to find at all or 2) refuse to find when installing, but search works. This doesn't seem to be tied to the android ID since changing the android ID to devices that are supported by the app (e.g. MotoX 2014 or Nexus 5x) didn't have any effect.

Another interesting bit of info that might help is that I do not have this problem when using Raccoon, even with the same android ID/credentials. Raccoon is able to find and download these apps that gplaycli can't 'see'.

Interesting. Have you any appname in mind to give me for tests?

from gplaycli.

How about the maps.me in my earlier comment? Also, the android webview app seems to have problems too.

I'm able to download it with default credentials :

$ ./gplaycli/gplaycli -pd com.mapswithme.maps.pro
[################################] 32356/32356 - 00:00:17
Download complete

Same for Wirex :

$ ./gplaycli/gplaycli -pd com.wirex

Hmm, that one seems to be working now. Great!

However, there here's one that, when using the default creds, doesn't work even though it's found in the search:

$ grep 3d7 ~/.config/gplaycli/credentials.conf

I have this problem too.
Even with several accounts(fake and real and default credential) I could not download most of useful apps.

from gplaycli.

I have the same issue..
Can't even download clash of clans..
Any temporary fix?

from gplaycli.

@harsh1412 what worked for me is just use a device with the lattest version of android :) should get most of the apps on the playstore that way. Might want to spin up a vm of the latest android device and take the android id from there 👍

from gplaycli.

How do I generate an android ID? I used my phone's ID and it gave me an error. Now I am using ID that I took from internet.

@deanott more examples on how to acomplish this? Did you download android sdk and set up the emulator? Where did you get the android id from there?

from gplaycli.

@msdos With recent versions of gplaycli and googleplay-api, the android id is generated from google servers and retrieved on first launch with credentials login (basically is the same thing as when you setup a new android device with a google account). In the code it's called gsfId. Notice that it will be different on every launch with credentials login.
