I've noticed that many of the Android apps are NOT compatible with Jolla C.... I can't install them from the Play Store, neither as an installable apk file... They worked all perfectly fine on the old Jolla....

Here are 2 of them that I can think of right now that they don't work on Jolla C, but working perfectly fine on Jolla

Ezan Vakti Pro Plus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilexsoft.ezanvaktiproplus

Flitsmeister: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.flitsmeister

When trying out to install the apk, it tries to install, then suddenly it says app cannot be installed.

Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Same problem for me with Izly (OK on Jolla Phone but not installable on Jolla C) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.smoney.android.izly.REC http://www.izly.fr/

Solved the problem by adding the missing library! it was the com.google.android.maps library that is missing. Works great now!

I've made a simple ReadMe on how to get PlayStore (including this fix).

If you still can't install it, run the following command as root:

chroot /opt/alien/ /system/bin/logcat

Then install the apk file as usual while the terminal is still running. It should show the error which library you're missing. Let me know and I'll add it to the ReadMe as well.

Shouldn't this be fixed by Jolla then?

@BonoNL why? It's part of GApps, not SailfishOS :D
