Installing the APK

Android asks a few questions the first time you install an app from outside the Play Store. Here is exactly what to tap.

  1. 1 · Download the file

    Tap Download APK. Your browser may warn that this type of file can harm your device — that warning appears for every APK. Choose Download anyway.

  2. 2 · Open it

    Pull down your notifications and tap the downloaded file, or find it in Files → Downloads.

  3. 3 · Allow this source

    Android will say your browser is not allowed to install apps. Tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then press Back.

  4. 4 · Install

    Tap Install, then Open.

  5. 5 · Turn on the assistant

    In CherryPick, follow the setup guide: read the disclosure, then enable the accessibility service so it can read offer cards.

If something goes wrong

"App not installed" or "Parse error"

The download was incomplete, or you already have a different build installed. Delete the file, download again, and uninstall any previous CherryPick first.

Play Protect warns you

Google flags apps it has not scanned before. Tap More details → Install anyway. You can verify the file's SHA-256 against the one on the download page.

The overlay never appears

Open CherryPick and check the accessibility service is on. After every update, switch it off and on again so Android reloads it.
