Hi @tony_yang - can you please add some detail to your question please so we can help you out here.

For example:

- What sort of device are you using?
- Which version of Android do you have?
- What error message/code do you see when you try to install your .apk?
- Did you try rebuilding and reinstalling your .apk?

Thanks!
