Still broken to update to latest 1.9.73 (In app updater not installing)

[intellimediatv]

Not sure why since version 1.9.3 auto update downloads the update but does not install it afterwards. Having to manually install from downloader or another option on multiple devices is not the bests. Video reshaded attached of proof of this known bug even when updating to newest 1.9.73.

Fixed and will ship in v1.9.8.

What was wrong

PR #95 switched the PackageInstaller session callback from getActivity to getBroadcast against action com.arvio.tv.INSTALL_COMPLETE, but no BroadcastReceiver was ever registered for that action. On Android 7+ the system installer requires the app to handle a STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION callback by launching the system install-confirmation Activity — with no receiver, the callback went nowhere and the "Installing update..." toast was followed by nothing. The APK sat in cache and the old process kept running, exactly matching the reports across 1.9.3 through 1.9.73.

The fix

Landed in #123 (merged to main):

• New ApkInstallReceiver that handles STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION by launching the system install-confirmation Activity with the proper flags, and surfaces failure statuses (storage, conflict, incompatible, blocked, aborted, invalid) as user-visible toasts instead of silently dropping them.
• Receiver registered in AndroidManifest.xml with ${applicationId}.INSTALL_COMPLETE action so it's unique per build flavor and can't collide.
• ApkInstaller.launchInstall now uses context.applicationContext for the PendingIntent and only passes FLAG_MUTABLE on API 31+.
• The ACTION_VIEW fallback path is now wrapped in try/catch for Chinese Android TV forks whose non-AOSP installer rejects the standard intent.

Testing

Please verify on v1.9.8 when it releases. If the in-app updater still fails to install on your device, please open a new issue with:

• Your device model and Android version
• logcat output around the update (adb logcat -s ApkInstaller ApkInstallReceiver)
• Whether the system "Install?" dialog appears at all

Closing this issue as resolved. See you in v1.9.8.
