Standalone APK about squore HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for the suggestion. I will have a look at this. Is it also possible to install an apk on wearOs in this way? Google is rejecting all my wearOS updates for the moment due to more strict (in my opinion to strict) guidelines/rules.
Good to hear you appreciate the app!!

According to Google's documentation it looks like wearOS does support APKs: https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/launch/distribute-wear#package-your-app

Thanks for coming back. I know wearOS does support APKs. My question is more: can you install an apk on wearOS using Obtainium.

Ah, sorry, I'm not really familiar since I don't own a smartwatch.

I did a bit more searching and found this discussion thread: ImranR98/Obtainium#1470

Some of it goes over my head, but this seems to be the upshot:

Wear Installer 2 will get you Obtainium. If you root your watch or use Shizuku, haven't tested yet, then you should be able to install stuff.

Why can I install stuff through Obtainium on my Samsung 21 without root, but when it comes to a Smart Watch it (root/Shizuku) is required? Grateful for any clarification (I am farily new to the Android ecosystem).

The ability to sidelpad an apk onto Android which has a permission for an app to do it has been removed from WearOS (WearOS is Android but with things changed, including some permissions and functions entirely removed.)

So it seems the answer is no, at least without breaking wearOS' security by rooting the device.

That's a shame, really...

I implemented a github workflow that creates a release for all the 'flavours' of my app.

Can you give it a try with Obtainium?
You probably need to use apk: Squore.524-phoneTabletPost23-release-signed.apk

Wow, that was quick! Thanks so much!

I searched for "Squore" in Obtainium, found your Github repository as the first result, added it, and installed the APK you recommended. The app continues to work great.
