In-App Update gives InstallException (ERROR_API_NOT_AVAILABLE)

Question

Implemented in-app update feature, using the following code snippet:

private void showInAppUpdateDialog(boolean isMandat         


        

Answer 1

Got the same error, tried all solutions described here, nothing works. App installed from Play Store Internal Test track with Version Code 267, then submitted new update to the same track with Version Code 268.

Play Store shows available update but the application still says ERROR_API_NOT_AVAILABLE

Clear Play Store data and cache does not help.

Description of ERROR_API_NOT_AVAILABLE say that it means “API is not available on device”

After carefully reading again this page, I have noticed that “in-app updates support apps running on only Android mobile devices and tablets, and Chrome OS devices”

Android TV not mentioned, I think it’s the reason in my case.
