Hey guys. Ran into a problem installing the latest development build 5.0-15319 as of the time of writing.
When I download the apk and try to install it I get an app not installed error message.

I read this is due to the phone not meeting the system requirements but I actually do have installed version 5.0-15260 right now, and this is on an Asus ROG Phone 5 which if I understand correctly should meet all of them

I've been getting the error message for quite a few versions now but after the message the app would be updated anyway. Now it gives the error and I'm stuck on what I think is the current beta? Maybe it's conflicting with a play store install?

Does anybody know what should I do to install latest dev?

Play Store versions uses a different signing key of the builds from the main website. If you've initially installed from the Play Store, you can only update to newer Play Store versions whenever they're available. If you initially installed from the main website, you can only update to newer versions from the main website.

If you want to switch from the Play Store builds to the website builds (or vice-versa), you must uninstall Dolphin first...

Got it. That explains a lot. Yeah I had installed from play store version indeed.
Do you know if I'll lose saves/settings doing this?

Not for now, but you will very soon.

Dolphin currently stores the user folder (it's where settings and saves are kept) at Internal Storage => dolphin-emu, so it won't be deleted when you uninstall the app. Later this month Edit: Starting with Dolphin 5-0-15348, however, Dolphin will target API level 30 to comply with the Play Store changes that are going to be effective starting November 1st, which means scoped storage will now be a requirement, so the user folder will then be located at Internal Storage => Android => data => org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu => files and will get deleted whenever you uninstall the app.

The exceptions are if you're on Android 10 or earlier and has an dolphin-emu folder already, or if you're on Android 11 or newer and update from an old version which still targeted API 29. In those cases, your user folder will remain at Internal Storage => dolphin-emu...
