Some apps require Google Play Services, which doesn't come with BB10.

There are workarounds:

Cobalt's file share:

https://mega.nz/#F!lIUWjSSQ!yoLoiNX3PNG3Sef1Fa_fMA

Install and login with 4.3.3.
Install and register with 2.8.
Install Play Services v10.
Update 4.4.4 over 4.3.3 (but don't open).
Install Play Store v6.
Install whitelist 1.0.0.6.

If an app requires Google Play Services:
Download app with Cobalt's Play Store (but don't install).
Whitelist unpatched app.
Patch app on PC with Play Services Patcher 1.6 using defaults settings.

Install patched app.

If after all that, your app still won't work, then it's simply not compatible with BB10.

Hi sorry I am encountering the same problem and I have clicked on the link given, but I could not open the files? Only option "open in Mega App" is available but then when I click on it it says "JavaScript Alert - this device is unsupported"?
P.S. I am on Classic

Download to PC. Transfer all files except for Patcher 1.6 to your device, then install from the device as per instructions.

Have done all the steps except last "Patch app on PC with Play Services Patcher 1.6 using defaults settings."
So the file can only be used on a Windows PC and I am on a Mac.... Oh my... *cry*

"You can’t open the application “PS_Patcher-1.6.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS."

Yes, you need a computer. Macs don't count.
