When I came across the issue today, I searched for ' APKPure blocks google play ' on google, and I came across the only thread that really addresses the matter, which is this one. I uninstalled APKPure, restarted my phone, searched for an app on google play, clicked on install, it worked again, google play is working again, and the APKPure was preventing it from working, why ? I guess we owe either Google Team or APKPure Team some explanations. So in order to diagnose the issue, I deactivated APKPure, picked a random app and clicked update on google play, it straight started updating without looping around. So I said to myself, why would it work at the exact moment where APKPure was being updated (uninstalled then reinstalled right away, that's what an update is basically). Today I updated APKPure, and during the transition between the old and the new version, google play updated an app.

(I've seen google and samsung forums technicians give such advice, not to mention Microsoft and alike, when you have aids, you treat for aids, not for hypothermia.) So I stayed with this problem for more than 4 months if I recall, can't remember with which version of APKPure did this start. Well guess what ? None of the above worked.Īs for the good old 'well you have to do a factory reset', that is like the universal key solution to every fricking problem on earth, it's not a solution, it's the dumb answer of the ignorant. Messing with some advanced WiFi settings. Removing all associated google accounts (another mess worth trying). Resetting Apps preferences (A mess that I resorted to because it was something manageable, and worth trying)įor Samsung users, using the device cleaner, or the cache cleaner for native android users.ĭisabling some suspected apps (who knew it would be the gentle APKPure App). Tried all the classical advises on the 'google play doesn't work' topics, which are :Ĭlearing the data and cache of Google Play, Google play services, Google services framework, Google backup transport, Downloads, Download manger (yes, download manager because in-app downloads were affected too, like downloading an attachment from gmail or any third party app relying on download manager to download files).
