Hi, I can’t install my APK. Also, there is nothing to justify having 39MB. These are just experiments. Seriously, I’ve seen posts from 2019 with similar issues and I wonder if it’s worth it to be a paid subscriber. I don’t feel safe. I’ve been evaluating other no-code tools, and it seems to me that Thunkable is the most complete by far. But what does it matter if things don’t work out well? Do you know why I decided to download the APK? Because when using Thunkable Live, the Switch element gets distorted. You have to be sure that WYSIWYG is real.

The problem is installing the APK on the mobile phone or even on the Tablet. It just doesn’t install. The only message I get is: “application not installed”. I have the security option turned on. Now I only have 1 download left. ☹ ---

If you have the APK already in your phone, will be OK for you to share it and I will try to install it in my phone to rule out the possibility of something in your device or the OS version. ---

@muneer Hi, How do I send the file to you? It has 39 MB and I can’t get it from the platform. It gives error. Thanks. ---

@muneer Thank’s for your time! It was clear that the problem is the Android version. I also installed it on my wife’s phone and it worked. But, isn’t it supposed to work on Android versions prior to 11? ---

As far as I know, the large size of the APK is due to the support of multiple versions of the OS in addition to Chromebooks. The APK should support from version Android 7 on wards. ---
