You are using the old pushlink version with Android 8 which requires >= 5.5.3.

Why am I getting 'There was a problem parsing the package' after initiating the installation process?

List of possibilities:

• You are using the old pushlink version with Android 7 which requires >= 5.5.2 + FileProvider In this case, you will see the error 'java.lang.SecurityException: MODE_WORLD_READABLE no longer supported' in logcat.

• You are generating testOnly APK's. Take a look at Android Studio 3.0 and FLAG_TEST_ONLY.

• You forgot to bump the version code.

Maybe your device clock is too late or ahead.

You are starting PushLink inside your own thread. Start it inside the main UI thread.

What does "Installation" mean?

Installation means a single Linux/android process using PushLink. If one device runs two applications using PushLink, there are two installations.

What does "plan overflow" mean?

You have reached your plan limit, and Pushlink will register the new installations as disabled from now on. Disabled means that you can see them on administration but can't send updates or receive exceptions.
