    I have installed the Wickr APK for the bb10 android runtime 4.3,
    Version:
    Wickr Me – Private Messenger 4.33.4.
    The application starts without run crashes or error on startup,

    however everytime i try to register or login i get a network error while other apk's run fine without any network issues.

    Does anybody know a fix or a way how to install wickr on bb10?

    I don't think Wickr will run on a BB10 device. Pretty sure it requires a minimum of android 5.0 to work.

    Hi i installed a older version apk Wickr Me – Private Messenger 4.33.4, this APK is Minimum Version is Android 4.3+, so no android 5.0.

    The app runs fine as in it boots without a initial error message about google services or something else, but once i try to register or login i get a unexpected network error in the app in red text under the button login / register button.

    i wonder how this can be fixed.

    I realize that it will install (many android apps will) but the login does not work. That's what I mean by requiring android 5 or greater. I doubt whether it can be fixed.

    Yeah apps like that need to communicate to a server... and companies make improvements to their services and security that leaves older apps out in the cold.

    thats weird because i once tried it on a virtual android machine on a older wickr apk and it still worked maybe it was the specific version that i downloaded that just doesnt work. i hope i can find someone who has wickr on their bb10 there has to be someone who made it work.

    Wickr.... doesn't seem to be something anyone else currently here, has used lately.

    Sadly the BB10 Android Runtime isn't a full Android Virtual machine... It's missing many components. Back in the day Cobalt's provided options that filled in some of the gaps, but not all. Still were a good number of compatible Android Apps that just would not run. Today Cobalt's "fixes" are outdated.... your free to try using them and try patching Wickr. I'd give Yalp a try a well....
