I seem to be having this problem that my Android apps will download the update but they won't install it. Is this because Jolla currently does not support overwriting from Android apps?
The only way I can update my Android apps currently is uninstalling the Android app and then re-installing it.
(Not talking about Yandex.Store! Problem is with 3rd party App Stores, since they are not able to overwrite files)

For me , yandex is be able to update, Aptoide marks the app to be updated but the update do not start.
Google Playstore is be able to update apps without any problem.

I tested and it works, but kind of fuzzy, so... you've been warned ;-)
/usr/share/applications.apkd-mime-handler.desktop.Exec option.Exec=/opt/alien/system/bin/adb install -r %FThe whole file should look like something this:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Install APK files
#Exec=/usr/bin/apkd-install %F
Exec=/opt/alien/system/bin/adb install -r %F
MimeType=application/vnd.android.package-archive;
NoDisplay=true
As I said it works, but behaves a bit strange. When you click on apk file in transfers the first click shows no popup and the app icon will disappear. After second click the app will be installed and all data will be preserved (or it seems so after my testing).
You can also do this from command line (can be run as "nemo" user):
/opt/alien/system/bin/adb install -r /path/to/your/updated/application.apk

With which firmware it is (not) happening? The 1.0.2.5 release notes says:
"What's new: Updating/uninstalling apps from Yandex store"
Which in reality makes the whole idea of android compatibility a nonsense

I was wondering the same thing.
tapio.oling ( 2013-12-29 16:12:53 +0200 )editI think you're talking about Yandex store. I don't use it but I can say that it is the same for Aptoide store. I have to go to the app launcher, remove the app myself and then, Aptoide is able to update it (reinstall it actually).
