Android Install Guide

PVZ: Voyage on Android is distributed as an APK, not through an app store. During install, you need to temporarily allow the browser or file manager that opens the APK to install unknown apps. Allow about 3–5 minutes as a planning estimate; actual time depends on the download and device, and some vendor Android builds may add extra confirmation steps.

Install steps

1. 1

   Step 1

   Download the APK

   From the download page, pick the Android build and save the APK. Use a mirror listed here if the direct download is slow. Avoid unlisted reuploads; their file contents, signatures, and permission prompts are outside this site's control.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Verify the file (optional but recommended)

   To confirm that the file matches the build published by this site, compare the APK's SHA-256 digest with the value on the download page using a hashing-capable file manager or Termux. If it does not match, delete the file and download it again or use a listed mirror.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Allow installs from this source

   On first sideload, Android will warn that the current source is not authorized to install apps. Grant "Install unknown apps" only to the browser or file manager you used to open the APK. You can revoke the permission in system settings after installation.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Run the installer

   Tap the downloaded APK and follow the system prompts. The app name, version, and permissions shown by the installer should match this site's guidance. If it asks for contacts, location, SMS, or other permissions unrelated to running the game, stop and report a screenshot before continuing.

5. 5

   Step 5

   First launch and permissions

   Follow device prompts for installation and first-launch storage needs. The current APK manifest declares Internet and vibration permissions, and does not declare contacts, location, or SMS permissions. If the system prompt does not match this guidance, stop and report the screenshot by email or through the community.

If install fails

"There was a problem parsing the package" usually means the APK is incomplete or modified, or the device's Android version is below the APK's minimum requirement; redownload and compare SHA-256. "App not installed" may come from low storage, an older app with the same package name, vendor security policy, work-profile restrictions, or architecture mismatch. Include your device model, Android version, installer message, and download source when reporting it.
