Years ago when I was flying the Air 2s, DJI Fly worked fine with my phone and both tablets. Now I want to sell the Air 2s but Dji Fly won't work with either tablet (still works fine with my phone). On my newest tablet, I get this message:

"Something went wrong with DJI Fly. DJI Fly closed because this app has a bug. Try updating this app after its developer provides a fix for this error."

When I go to DJI's download site for DJI Fly, it says "This app is only compatible with phones." And there is no download link.

On my older tablet it downloads but when I try to install it, it displays the message "App not installed. Tried it several times with the same result.

This used to work fine. Anyone know what happened and how I can get around it?

Note: All my devices are Samsung Androids.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure to first delete all traces of the app from your tablet.
Make sure to clear your tablets cache. This is very important!
*
Restart the device once these steps are complete.*
NEXT:
Download the APK file, Download the latest android version. ONLY GET THIS FILE FROM THE DJI SITE!!
Install the APK..Note you may be prompted for permissions during the install..GRANT THEM.
Your tablets should work fine again.

Thanks much Cafguy! I did uninstall the app and restarted the tablets. But I didn't clear the cache because I don't know how :/ And I tried to download it from DJI's site but was told it's only for phones. So I looked for older versions of the SDK but could not find them. I'm starting to think my tablets are cursed!
 
What model tablets? FLY works fine on my iPad mini 5 downloaded from DJI downloads site. Not sure about Android tablets but on my Samsung phone FLY works just fine.

My older tablet is a Samsung Galaxy S4 and my newer one is a Samsung Tab S7. DJI Fly used to work fine on both. I have no trouble with my Samsung S23 phone. Had no problems with my older phones too. Thanks for responding!

Not sure where you are getting the link for it but the app can be found here

Use apkmirror website to get an older version of the app, you may have to try a few to find one that works
