Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
Install button is disabled or install fails immediately Check that your phone is Android 8.0+. If not, you’ll need a compatible device or the stable app (if it supports your Android version).
Android says “For your security, your phone isn’t allowed to install unknown apps” Open the prompt and enable Allow from this source for the app you used to download (browser/file manager) or for Obtainium, then try again.
Obtainium can’t find updates for FGA Preview Confirm the app entry is using the Releases page URL: https://github.com/ArthurKun21/FGA-Preview-Build/releases. If it’s a specific release/tag URL, edit it to the releases list page.
Update downloads but won’t install Make sure Obtainium has permission to install apps. Also close FGA Preview during the update, then retry.
You installed the wrong app (stable vs preview) In Obtainium, remove the wrong entry, then add the correct releases page and reinstall.
