bug: Install button does not appear on Android 8 (API 26) #3201
Description
Bug description
The patching process completes successfully, but the ReVanced Manager does not show an install button after building the APK.
This issue occurs on Android 8 (API 26) and affects multiple apps such as YouTube and Twitch. (Youtube Music worked for some reason though.)
The patched APK is successfully created and saved to:
/data/user/0/app.revanced.manager.flutter/app_ephemeral/patcher/result.apk
However, the Manager does not proceed with installation or provide any way to install the APK.
Using the manager:
- Patching completes without errors
- APK is aligned and signed
- No install prompt appears
Using the CLI instead (same patches and APK) works perfectly:
- APK is created
- APK installs successfully when opened manually
This suggests the issue is related to the Manager v2 installation method on Android 8 rather than patching itself.
