Third party app updates

[TheCaptain]

Will third party apps (Air Control) installed on the RC Pro update themselves, or do I need to install updates manually?

No. On an android phone with the Google Play store installed, Google Play performs the updates.

Some third party apps can update themselves, but that's very app dependent. DJI Fly will update itself, but it's also not on the Play Store.

That was my suspicion, given the workaround just to install the apps. Thank you.

Since Play Store app cannot be installedon the RC Pro, no, they will not update. You need to manually update them. I installed APK Pure App on my RC Pro and installed the others using it. All the updates are done through APK Pure now. It works pretty much the same as Play Store.

I will look into that. I just got the apk from the net and used the microSD to install.

However, if you've installed the Amazon AppStore in order to get Litchi, that should update automatically if you have that setting checked.

I'm about 90% decided on Dronelink

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot about Amazon.

Are you saying that DJI released the SDK for the Mavic 3 (since you referred to the RCPro) so we can upload Dronelink, Drone Deploy, Litchi, etc?

Not at all. You’re referring to SDK. APK is an application package for android devices.

You can load any app you want into the RC Pro, but the apps you mentioned don’t work with the 3 series consumer drones.

So there is no purpose in loading the APK file or anything to the RCPro if it is for the Mavic 3??
DJI really screwed us on this one!!!

You can load things like B4uFly, Airmap, UAVForecast, etc…. They work fine…But none of the control apps like litchi or drone deploy work yet.
