Android Question [SOLVED] Update to Android 14 causes B4A-Bridge to not install APK

[Andris]

I just updated my Pixel 6 Pro to Android 14, and now B4A-Bridge won't install the APK. The blue install bar on B4A-Bridge goes about a quarter of the way, and then the message box asking if I want to install pops up. But then the B4A-Bridge screen remains and nothing happens. The app isn't installed. I tried the obvious things like restarting the phone, reinstalling B4A-Bridge, and restarting B4A. No luck. Any ideas?

Sorry for my bad English, I use a translator.

I have noticed the following since the December Android 14 update:
Apps with no adaptive icon, no install/no update
Apps with adaptive icon, no problems

Curiously, the apps with no adaptive icon can be installed with the Files-app.

Maybe it will help.

@Lenz1973 and @Derek Johnson, thanks so much for solving this problem for me (and others)! I didn't have the adaptive icon implemented, and when I did, everything worked fine. I appreciate your sharing it with me!

To summarize the solution, make sure you have listened to @Erel and followed instructions here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/adaptive-icons-simple-instructions-and-tips.123843/. If you don't, B4A-Bridge may not work.
