Play store missing go4 app

[Ab219]

Anyone else experience this? My tablet said missing resource files and went to install and it was gone. From app history and all.

Yep - when you click on DJIs website and click on download GO4 from the Playstore you receive:

Go4th&install

Side load it by clicking the middle 1

works on my tablet (mobile device) only

The question is: why does Google's Playstore no longer have GO4? Is it a glitch, on purpose, did DJI something?

 

[SpinItUp]

yes it's no longer listed in my Playstore list of installed apps (with it installed)...very strange
just a server error of some indication

quick search on the error

The same here in Germany, from DJI GO is only the old version (before P4) available. DJI Pilot, Mimo, Store and a few others are still available...

If anyone needs to download DJI GO 4, the APK is still available in the DJI Download Center.

Thanks @msinger for the link. I'll need it when the new tablet arrives!

Thanks for the link @msinger, but the download from other sources outside the Play Store must be explicitly approved by the user of the Android device, which represents a general security risk to my knowledge. But even more I would like to know why this app is currently no longer available in the Play Store. Google may have discovered features in the app that are not compliant with their policies and have thrown out the app. Or DJI has simply failed to renew any licenses. Maybe it has come out that the app DJI GO spies on the user even more than it is already known

I guess play it safe and don't install it then if that's your personal policy with APK files. Toss the Mavic in the closet and head out for a walk instead

More walks? I go for so many walks, because almost always the weather is not suitable for flying. Spring is really slow here. In fact, I just wanted to point out that it is generally not recommended to install apps from other sources. And there may even be a valid reason why this app has just disappeared from the store. What's wrong with being careful or calling for caution?

Nothing if you were advising against doing something that was actually dangerous. I've never heard of anyone running into trouble after downloading a DJI GO APK file directly from DJI's website.

Play Store link still works for me. Maybe it was a temporary glitch?

Of course you are right. As so often, it is a very personal decision to do such things. Even those who have been warned before can complain loudly afterwards. That's just how it is in life. Anyway ... Who can, should perhaps actually wait until this mystery regarding the GO App has been revealed

Looks like it's been restored to the play store.

Yep - available: there is an new "update" date, but the same version 4.3.14:

Apparently not everywhere, because "here" nothing has changed so far ...

Edit:
Just looked again, and DJI GO is here ... V4.3.14 Updated on: February 19.2019 ...

I had the Feb 19 update installed and it just showed as an update.


Updated it and it still shows the same date and not as Apr 2

I think the version number is the most important, and not so much the update date in the store.
