Hi,

got a new TV with androidTV today (TCL C71).

On this TV I can (in principle) sideload apps. I was e.g. able to extract an apk for lichess (an app for online chess) from my phone and install that on my tv. Works.

However my TV refuses to install chrome.

I tried with a downloaded apk, everything seemed to go ok, until at the very end my TV said "app not installed".

So I tried to extract the apk from my phone just as I did with lichess and again it does not complain about anything, yet at the end: "app not installed".

What is this? Why does it only seem to happen to chrome?

Is chrome special?

What could I try to sideload chrome nevertheless?

​

Many thanks!
