get Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]

[exx8]

Whenever I tried to use the script I get:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]
Has anyone solved this issue before?

solved by replacing the legacy apk, it seems that it can't download the right apk automatically.
It's still a bug in the script, so I keep this issue open.

@exx8 I am hitting the same issue. Could you please explain which file location you replaced with which file exactly? Thanks!

@fleimgruber I solved this problem in this way:

1. Download "WhatsApp-2.11.431.apk" from https://whatcrypt.com/WhatsApp-2.11.431.apk.
2. Copy the file "WhatsApp-2.11.431.apk" inside the "tmp" folder.
3. In "WhatsAppKeyDBExtract.ps1", line 87, replace LegacyWhatsApp.apk with WhatsApp-2.11.431.apk.
4. Save and run it.
5. In "extracted" folder you should find the cryptkey and the other files.

@exx8 you did something like this?

@Brugix thanks for the instructions. I managed to do what you described (but without changing the .ps1 script, just directly replacing the LecacyWhatsApp.apk) two days after I wrote my question and did not report back. Good to have the instructions explicitly in this issue though, thanks!

Actually I just got the apk and placed it in the right place. the script checks that if the apk already exists, and doesn't change it if it does.
Maybe you should write PR?
