Can't install apk files after 1.1.9.28 update

Hi there,

i participate in the early adopters program and have updated my jolla to sailfish os 1.1.9.28 yesterday. After that i tried to download and install an apk file (http://schoener-fernsehen.com/files/sf.apk).

When i tap the download in the list of downloads nothing happens. When i try it with the File Browser there is just a short message (german) "Installation gestartet" / starting to install But the message just disappears and i am missing the top box where you can click the (+) to install it. It just does not appear.

Can someone verify that? Is it just me or is this not working with the latest sailfish?
