This is a post to inform that Newpipe is apparently reported as malicious app in South Korean Galaxy devices and there is no way to install official release apk without adb(few of the workarounds does not work anymore and there is no known way to install such apks without adb). This apparently checks package name and blocks users from installing apps.
Korean version of this post so that this post may help Korean readers:
Newpipe가 삼성에서 보이스피싱 의심 앱이라 설치가 안된다는 문제가 발생하고있습니다. adb로 설치하는 방법 외에는 우회 할 수 있는 방법이 없습니다. adb 설치 후
wget https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases/download/v0.27.2/NewPipe_v0.27.2.apk
adb install NewPipe_v0.27.2.apk
로 설치하시면 됩니다.
It doesn't work that way, at least in South Korea. I have everything turned off. Samsung officially confirmed that this cannot be turned off and that
adbis the only method when this happens.Initially I hated this but it's very much understandable as well. afaik package name is not sent to any remote server but is handled locally with local db, I'm somewhat fine with this, as long as they don't mess with adb.
Maybe its regional, I don't sign in to Samsung, so app security is not enabled (Playstore security checks are though), no issues so far..
It is regional, yes.
