Android Question App Updater error

[nibbo]

Hi All

Getting a weird message when using the AppUpdater library.
The download seems to work OK but when it tries to install I am getting the following:

*** Service (httputils2service) Create ***
** Service (httputils2service) Start **
---- AppUpdating.JobDone --
---- AppUpdating.DownloadApk
---- AppUpdating.JobDone --
JobName = JobApkDownload, Success = true

Looks like a permissions problem, anyone know what is needed?

Thanks

Thanks DonManfred, that is a bit much for me to absorb right now so reverting back to ver 22.
Will read up on this when I have a bit more time.

Thanks again.

Hi @nibbo, which version of the library are you using?
The most recent one should work without problems with recent Android versions.
