Hi James..
I have an interesting issue.
'You Don't Know Jack' is free...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...OUDONTKNOWJACK
(And says compatible with my device (Z10)).
Search for it in Snap, does not show up! Scrolled through all 200 entries.. the only thing that comes up is 'JackPad'...
So I clicked 'Install' from google play (which doesn't work, of course).
However, it now shows up under 'Available'
But, when I click 'Download', it errors out: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."
Any thoughts?
Edit: whoah.. did not realize screenshots would come out so big on the forum.... resized/cropped them all...
My daughter was running Spotify and Instagram on her Z10, but upgraded her OS this week....alas no more Spotify or Instagram.
Searched and found Snap....downloaded, installed, running and logged in to my Google account....but...
Have downloaded the Spotify APK through the program, hit the Open Installer button, goes to processing but just sits there....Any ideas?
Using the previous OS I had download and installed the Runtime 810 programmes, is that the issue?
Help would be welcomed, daughter is somewhat hacked off!!
Currently running 10.2.1.537, so all should be well!
I think I recall there being an issue if you side loaded the runtime APKs. Something about them not being overwritten during the update process. I'd use Sachesi and download the APKs for your current OS and side load them.
does that mean that I still need the runtime APKs? Does the recent OS update need new runtime files? Sorry to be so dumb.....!
Firstly, there is nothing such as a 'Runtime apk'. What there is, is an 'Android Runtime'. An Android Runtime consists of two files (sys.android and sys.android.shell), and they are both in bar format, not apk format.
As it concerns your case, here is what you need to do. If you have OS 10.2.1.1925 aka 10.2.1.537 autoloader, simply extract the Android runtime files and sideload them, then restart your device, that's all.
Edit: here are the links to the runtime files.

Dustmalik, many thanks worked a treat.
Another question if I may? You say to "extract the Android files and sideload them", whilst sideloading is easy, where are the Android files extracted from? I guess that when the next OS update comes I will be in the same boat and needing "new" bar files, and I really would like to do this sort of maintenance work independently rather than rely on kind folk such as yourself. Is there a website that you can point me to that explains how to extract the files and, more importantly, how the whole OS hangs together?
Good that I now have two daughters, two Z10s and two smiling faces!!
why!
i can't open the bar with my q10
It'd sure be nice if people read the topics they post in. Don't worry. I'll save you the trouble. You can't open BAR files from your phone. You need to sideload them from a computer using Sachesi or another method. Search the forums for instructions with that.
I don't think that would be very productive.
No problem. There is a tool called Sachesi which can be used to extract files from an Autoloader. Find out everything about it here Sachesi: Firmware Extractor, Searcher and Installer

Hello there!
Thanks for great work!
Not sure where should I post bug reports so excuse me if this thread is inappropriate place for mine.
I'm having an issue installing one particular app using Snap. The app called Cityguide GPS Navigator, it is free on Google Play. When I open its page in Snap there's no Download button, no description, no version info. Overall it looks like the page just takes too long to load, but I waited 10+ min with no avail. I am not sure if this bug affects other apps, I've encountered it only with Cityguide.

You are right. It seems to be the only app i have come across with such issue.
Edit: Here is a direct download link to the app in Play Stores CityGuide GPS Navigator
When next you are having issues grabbing apks via Snap, you can always try these Web services for grabbing apks from Play Stores :
1. http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
2. http://apkleecher.com/
3. http://apk-dl.com/

Me too on my Q. Is it an issue with non-english characters posssibly?
Q10SQN100-1/10.2.1.2141
Thanks for help!
The direct link worked, I've installed apk with no problems. Added those links to my browser's favorites just in case.
Edit: I've tried several other apps with Cyrillic characters in title and was able to install any of them.
Any chance that we can get Snap in an apk version so that we don't need to sideload it? I have an IT policy that prevents sideloading but can install apk files with no problem on 10.2.1. I would prefer not to delete BlackBerry balance.

Been asked before. Many times in this thread also. There are other stores you can install as an apk. What makes Snap unique is that it's native. Native apps have to be a .bar file and sideloaded. I would suggest looking at the other app stores that are apks

Swipe from the top of the screen to the bottom, you'll see "hide the bar" tap it and it will disappear. And by the way there is iGrann for Instagram on BlackBerry World it's native and free ( better than the .apk)

Did you sideloaded?

Sent you 10$, thank you for the great contribution to the community.
And if you ever decide you want the bar to come back, just swipe down from the top again and tap on "show bar" for it to return.
