There is a .xapk file in APKPure and here is the corresponding app on Play Store .
I can install it using Play Store. But other approaches of installing this app fail (SAI_v4.5 and other installers), and about 20MB (the size of the .xapk file) is lost after installation failure.
I got the error
> INSTALL_FAILED_ABORTED: User rejected permissions
when installing split APKs (.xapk) on my Oppo Reno4 SE 5G running Android 12.
# example commands to install split apks
pm install-create
pm install-write 18911812 base.apk /data/local/tmp/base.apk
pm install-write 18911812 split_1.apk /data/local/tmp/split_1.apk
pm install-write 18911812 split_1.apk /data/local/tmp/split_1.apk
pm install-commit
I tried to install it using ADB, and although

pm install-commit
returns with a Success
message, the app is not fully installed. When using ADB, "Verify app over USB" is turned off.
I noticed this error when installing split APKs using a custom app installer from storage. But now I found this error also occurs when installing a normal .apk file (I didn't notice this because I am using Android's default package installer). However, .apk could be installed successfully (at least it seems like it).
How to solve this?
