App doesn't update

Bugs and Other Issues
62

"(original)": I do have the original from from 2021 when I was happy with it and have been using it every day since then.
"I don't understand": My app was finished and then along came android 13 which changed BLE. I wanted to change buttons from simple buttons having text to ones that would have images. Text doesn't fit on all screen sizes but images auto-resize. Along with this I wanted to do a few other nifty things. My first attempt in early 23 did not work. BLE said it updated but HeartRate.aix would not work. The app would no longer measure heart rate.

I live here on this island for only 3 months then I go to my home on another island for 3 months back and forth. On the other island I am offgrid so when I returned here to ongrid island this time, I once again gave BLE another shot. The new version of BLE did update and I merrily set upon a few frivilous improvements.

"I would have dozens of backup copies of that app": If you have been reading this post I did say I have MANY backups. I had over 20 of them. I am very happy with the smooth and efficient methods I have made and if the package name is screwed up it does not matter!!! So ... this post was not coming to a solution and as of post 38 I chose to eliminate the multiple backups and create only two. If I make more changes (which I doubt) I will progressively make more again.

Package name versus file name: You said "it is impossible". Create a simple app and then change the name of the aia file on your computer? you will find that the package name inside the aia is different from the file name! That aia name will produce an apk of the same name but the package name is different! It is obvious to me now (thanks to @ChrisWard post 34 & 59) that I did this. Also thanks to @Anke for providing me with a means to see where the package name lives so that I could understand my confusion.

I hope now, after lengthy explanation, that this all is understandable

No, it didn't change the functions of BLE nor how they work. Google introduced new security measures across the board on Android.

64

I understand that Chris. It did not work previously but the BLE was solid. Google made a couple minor changes and evidently that caused @EWpatton HeartRate.aix to begin working. I believe you and I discussed this in an earlier post?

Ahh thanks I see and edited. BLE did update but HeartRate.aix would not work hence I thought the update failed :wink:

65

Thanks. When I click on the green button I go to a 404 html page

How can this result in a packageName that reads like this:

grafik
grafik982×189 25.4 KB

68

The resultant file in this case is HRMHR.apk
The internal package name is HRMHR2

On my phone I had two apps titled HRMHR. Appeared like clones

69

As I said post the aia or send it to me via PM.

70

As I said. This difference no longer matters to me. I have ways around it now. With tools given to me here I can correct this

71

:question:

72

Why the :question: ? As Chris said .. just save the aia with the proper name via AI developer. Then I will check the package name using 7zip

73

There should never be a problem with this. Therefore, we need the AIA to understand it.

74

Perhaps but that is an MIT AI Developer thing. Maybe when importing it should make them equal?

75

And to check that, we need the AIA.

76

I will not let up until the (alleged) problem is resolved.

77

Sorry, I dont wish to give this gigantic app away at this time :rofl:

78

I definitely have no interest in your app other than clarifying this issue. And you should know that.

79

:question: :question: :question: :question: :question:

Create the problem yourself as per post 65 using a simple button app?

"THE PROBLEM" is not app dependant. As I said, that aia no longer exists. I have renamed and changed everything

80

So now we have almost 80 posts and no result. The whole topic is just confusing and doesn't help anyone.

Solution is post 60. I think you missed that possibly.
