Impossible to analyze some apps about exodus HOT 22 CLOSED

For Speech Recognition & Synthesis it's different see #300

from exodus.

Caused by geographical restrictions :(

from exodus.

Local scans that could be submitted or multiple scan servers across major countries could solve it

from exodus.

We don't want to allow local scan of apk on our instance, because we cannot verify the source of apk.
Having different servers in different countries doesn't change anything. I guess language is detected following the tool used to download apk or the simulated device used.

from exodus.

We have switch to apkeep, we have planned to migrate to latest version with more recent device to reduce download failed.

from exodus.

Should be fixed with the newest release.

I'll close this issue, if there are more analysis in failure please open new issues.

from exodus.

Fixed for recent applications by #612 using Apkeep version 0.16.0 \o/

@codeurimpulsif Still not possible if you try for example

• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kms.free

(others now work)

Shall we open a new issue?

from exodus.

Other examples that still don't work:

• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nchsoftware.photostage_free
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.simplitv.ott.androidtv

from exodus.

@codeurimpulsif Isn't it very unlikely that "Speech Recognition & Synthesis" by Google has geographic restrictions?

But anyway - Shall I still open this issue on apkeep?

Yes it would probably be best to open it there if the issue is reproduced (which is very likely) from trying with only their binary.

Actually, we use apkeep to download apk and when we send requests to Google Play, we tell us we use Google Pixel 2, maybe we can't download this apps on this smartphone.

I have try with others apps and i don't have problems.

from exodus.

I think we should make it possible to change the simulated device so that the correct apk is downloaded.

from exodus.

Before switching to apkeep, we used to test with several simulated devices.

We stopped it following issues with Google Play and it seems that it works for most of the apps we are trying to download. We'll need to check if it makes sense to add this again (and if we can without being blocked by Google).

Problème similaire avec l'application com.rte.ecowatt

Cannot submit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.capido.app&hl=nl&gl=US

How can I submit the APK by hand?

I have also https://github.com/TrackerControl/tracker-control-android but that doesn't have an upload apk button, nor it can specify 1st party trackers from 3rd party ones, nor it cannot do domain based filtering, nor it will not update that

I hope you fix this problem as soon as possible, thanks a lot. ❤️

Have you reviewed the option of using the approach similar to what Aurora Store uses?

Account login: You can login with either personal or an anonymous account
Device & Locale spoofing: Change your device and/or locale to access geo locked apps

You probably could try running that app/code on your backend as a fall-back option for the downloads that failed at first attempt.

@ElsAr4e maybe it's due to geographic restriction or other thing, but it can be more useful to open issues on Apkeep project instead of Exodus
