Slion 1,201 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I could not find Disney+ in the Play Store for my Pro1. It's available and works fine on my Huawei P30 Pro. Is that the same for everyone or is it because I'm running the compromised OTA that was made available for a short time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,957 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'm compromised, rooted and open bootloader, so, yeah, no Disney+, Can you find it for sideload? Might work... Netflix does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Hmmm interesting. I don't see it in play store, and I thought I'd hidden all my compromises (Play protect certified, pass safetynet, etc). Someone with stock 0306 will have to let us know if its there for them.... edit: argh, Im not passying safetynet actually Edited March 28, 2020 by Craig 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are rooted with Magisk, go into the Downloads section in Magisk Manager and install SafetyPatch. If you aren't rooted, then you need to jump through some hoops to install it outside the play store, because it uses split APKs/App Bundles. I am running it fine on the Pro1 through the Play Store with the first method and the 20200304 OTA. I have also installed it on 2 unrooted Pixel 4 XLs that have unlocked bootloader, which makes them not pass safetynet, hence can't see Disney Plus or Netflix in the Play Store. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Ya in my case, I'm lineage so also need safetypatch, but had that. My issue was I needed to update magisk. Now passing safetynet and both apps are back in the play store for me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I guess I will just wait until they release an official fix for that broken OTA. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SchattengestaIt 559 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Shouldn't it be possible to download and backup the apk with some backup program (p.e. Titanium Backup)? I've installed plenty of apps that way which were not supposed to be compatible with my phone. Or are there in-app problems to be expected as well? PS: A pc emulator might work just as well for downloading. If we have access to the files, I could even imagine extracting the apk from there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've installed plenty of apps that way which were not supposed to be compatible with my phone. Titanium does not work with the packaging method they use for the Disney Plus app. Swift Backup and some other apps do work with the new format. You can also install it outside the play store by downloading the file and using a special installer. It is not an apk file, so you can't just open it with android or a file browser and install it the way we always have. I downloaded it from the Apk pure site and then used their apk pure app to install it. I then removed the apk pure app, as it is full of ads and gave me a lot of hesitation having it on the phones I was installing it on. I tried it a few months ago and failed. I tried it a month ago and it worked. Either the Disney app changed or the apk pure app changed and allowed it to work. Quote Or are there in-app problems to be expected as well? I have not encountered that. After it installed, it was business as usual. Log in with the Disney account info and everything worked. Quote PS: A pc emulator might work just as well for downloading. If we have access to the files, I could even imagine extracting the apk from there. Installing it in an emulator or real device that can install it from the Play store and then backing it up with a modern backup tool that can handle split apks/app bundles can work. It just won't work with titanium backup or other old apps that haven't been updated to handle the new packaging methods. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michael.bosscha 142 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Odd, I've downloaded and executed the app just fine. I'm running stock Android and the last OTA I got was the one that fixed the keyboard, nothing else. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm one of the unlucky few to run the broken one. Good to know it runs on yours then. Hope they push a new OTA soon. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, those that got the 20200304 (on Oct. security patch level) has problems, those that got the 20200306 (On Sep.) does not. I hope it wont be long before we get a new update uniting the two, on a newer security level. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrepereira1768 7 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If you download split apk installer from play store it will install the disney + app, I downloaded the 3 files in zip form from android sage, not sure if I'm allowed to put that name in here, so sorry if I've got it wrong. My phone is as out of the box with one ota update. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you've got a few more updates to go. Keep rebooting and updating (until 0306). Edited April 19, 2020 by Craig 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
