Hi, I just started using this program for my first time doing the app, and I downloaded the apk file to try it in the emulator, and I got an error in installing the app. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi @15519nutzazacxj476, welcome to the Community! 👋

Might just be an issue with that specific download (happens to me occasionally too)

Can you delete that .apk and try downloading again please?

Let us know whether or not that works for you.

Thanks!

I have loaded it several times, and the result is the same. ☹.
