App Installation

[Guide] What app installation methods does PhoneGrid support?

PhoneGrid supports two app installation methods:

1. Install inside a cloud phone
   Best for a single cloud phone. After entering the cloud phone, install apps the same way you would on a regular Android phone, such as through an app store, browser download, or installation package.

2. Add apps through Application Center
   Best for preparing apps for multiple cloud phones. In Application, you can search for apps or upload your own APK through Installation package.

[FAQ] How do I install an app on a single cloud phone?

After starting a cloud phone, you can install apps the same way you would on a regular Android phone.

Common methods include:

• Open an app store inside the cloud phone and install the app
• Use a browser inside the cloud phone to download an installation package
• Upload an installation package to the cloud phone and install it

If you only need to install an app on one cloud phone, installing it inside the cloud phone is usually enough.

[FAQ] How do I add apps through Application Center?

If you need to prepare apps for multiple cloud phones, use Application Center.

Basic workflow:

1. Go to Application
2. Click Add Application
3. Search for an existing app from the app store, or select Installation package to upload your own APK
4. After adding the app, select target cloud phones in Application Center and install it

[FAQ] What should I do if an app cannot open, crashes, or has no network?

First, check whether the whole cloud phone has network access.

If all websites and apps cannot access the network, troubleshoot the proxy and cloud phone network first.

If only one app has an issue, possible causes include:

• The app service is temporarily unavailable
• The app does not support the current region
• The app has restrictions on the current network environment
• The current Android version or device model is incompatible
• The app cache or installation package is abnormal

You can try:

1. Restart the app
2. Clear the app cache and try again
3. Reinstall the app
4. Compare with another device model or Android version
5. Check whether the cloud phone network is working normally
