    That seems odd. There are a ton of fake copies of the real satstat out
    there.

    Are you getting satstat from
    <https://gitlab.com/mvglasow/satstat>
    <https://f-droid.org/packages/com.vonglasow.michael.satstat/>

    Maybe it's a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue?

    If so, there's also

    Yup.

    Maybe it's a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue?

    I don't know what this Samsung S24 FE phone is--I'm beginning the think, "2-bit"!


    If so, there's also

    It installed fine on my Galaxy A32-5G moments ago.

    1. Turn on wireless debugging
    2. adb pair 192.168.1.2:40005 450824
    3. adb connect 192.168.1.2:46003
    3. adb install -r com.android.gpstest.osmdroid_24099.apk

    I don't understand those instructions, but I may try it one of these days.

    When I get an APK from F-Droid or Github, I use the PC web browser to get
    it, so the APK is automatically archived on Windows, and not on the phone.

    Since the APK is already on the PC, it makes no sense to copy it from the
    PC to Android when we can install it from the PC onto Android using adb.

    It used to be easy to install APKs because you just slid the APK from the
    PC file explorer to the image of the phone on the PC monitor.

    That used to install any APK (and that still works for this APK).
    But nowadays, many APKs are split APKs where that won't work anymore.

    Still, sliding any file onto the Android image on the PC copies it over.
    Once it's on the phone, you just tap it and it will be installed.
