|---|---|---|
| Unknown sources not enabled | Easy | |

| Old version conflict | Medium |
Detailed breakdown of each mistake
Installing without allowing unknown sources
Most common mistake — ~40% of failuresAndroid blocks APK installation by default as a security measure. If you try to install without enabling this setting, you'll see "Install blocked" or "For security, your phone is set to block installation of apps from unknown sources."
Using an unsupported Android version
Requires Android 5.0+ (API 21)Installing on a device with an outdated Android version causes immediate failure or crashes after setup. The app requires Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher. Older systems cannot run current app releases.
Downloading an incomplete or corrupted APK
Common with unstable connectionsInterrupted downloads result in damaged files that cannot be installed. This shows as "Parse error," "There was a problem parsing the package," or installation just stops immediately.
Not enough storage space
Need ~150-200 MB free for installationEven if the APK downloads successfully (70 MB), Android needs extra space to unpack and install it. Installation may fail silently or show "Not enough storage space" error.
Installing over an incompatible version
Version conflicts cause failuresInstalling a new APK over a damaged or very old version can cause conflicts. You may see "App not installed" or the app may crash immediately after installation.
Confusing installation with app errors
Different issues require different solutionsIf the app installs successfully but crashes or doesn't work afterward, the issue isn't installation — it's a runtime problem. These require different troubleshooting steps.
