Won't be able to check in much, but

I don't want to reinvent the wheel either.

Here are the steps I've already taken:

I can connect it to wifi, and navigate to the DJI FLY download page.

The tablet (I assume) will not allow me to click on 'download'

Your site will not allow me to use my computer to download the apk from the same page.

I did find a copy of the apk online, I used a cable and moved it from my laptop to the tablet.

The tablet will let me select the apk in downloads, but the menu in files only has 'open with'. Double clicking or long pressing does nothing.

I have enabled developer options. There is nothing in there that suggests it can allow unverified apps to be loaded.

There is no Settings > Apps > Special access > Install unknown apps setting.

There is a setting that says the bootloader is unlocked, but I don't know if that's helpful in this situation.
 
You need to enable Developer mode on your phone to sideload any apk's
 
Hello Rexter.
Did you see above where I stated I had enabled developer mode?

Also, may be nothing, but I noted you called it a phone. It is a tablet, for sure, but android thinks it's a phone...

I didn't expand the post. There's also a setting that you have to enable "Install Unknown Apps" in your privacy settings

It doesn't matter if it's a phone or a tablet. The setting to install unknown apps can be located or named differently, depending on the device and the version of Android that it's running.

Modern versions of Android let you search for settings. Open up the settings app and search for either "install" or "unknown". On my phone (Samsung S22U, Android 16), it's under Settings -> Security and Privacy -> More Security Options.

When you find "Install unknown apps", then enable it for the app that you are trying to open the apk file.

After installing the apk, go back and turn off "Install unknown apps". Unless you know what you are doing, you don't want that left enabled.
