I want to install an Android App "DBU fodbold" but I am not able to install it, no install button.

Anyone know why; had the same issue on my Sony X.

My Vodafone Italy does the same for me on Xperia X. Same for another couple of utility-related apps.

I have the same issue with some apps using Yalp Store. I solved my issue by using my account credentials while spoofing the language and/or device on Yalp account settings.

It seems that the apps I couldn't install have some limitations in terms of language/country (an insurance app), so maybe that what is blocking the app in your situation. Try to modify the language when adding your play store credentials.

Most apps installations worked after I changed the device/language, I only had one app which failed to install with "App not installed" message. I tried FodBold app and I have the same app not installed error message. No idea yet how to fix it.

Could not find that app in my stores. Which one you use?

I tried to install the app as .apk-file (v3.10.2 from apkpure) on my XA2.

Notification says it fails to install the packages in /data/app/dk.dbu.Fodbold-xxxxxxx (lot of letters and numbers, which change with every installation try)

Not sure, but I thought the app should install that packages in /home/.android/data/app and not try to do it in /data/app.

I wanted to try to make the missing directory my own, but as the letters and numbers changing every installation, will not make sense. Installation in Terminal and as root brings no changement or new informations for me.

Don't know if that problem is linked to your missing installation-button in the store, but maybe for someone else it helps to find a solution for you. Good luck! My passion for danish football isn't big enough to investigate more. ;)

First - I am a Team leader in a small club playing in the 7 "best" level :-). Anyway, where we are playing (home field) is the must Beautiful football field in the world. The football field is inside a national park, if you look in one direction you will see a castle and the other direction is the sea. Deer are of cause a part of the view.

Second - Denmark is that country in the world with most iphones referring the numbers of citizens, companies are only using official App stores and manny of the are including the virus "google play service" in there Apps. Sometimes I'm glad to be half Finnish, my mother was from Soumi.

Now to the technical part - I'm using Yalp-store, in the beginning I could use the DBU-app but only the latest version, that's why I need to use Yalp-store.

Thanks for trying to see what could be wrong, it could be nice to know what the issue is, then I would be able to contact DBU. To change the mind in DBU can be difficult, you have maybe heard about the conflict between DBU and the players last year.
