Copy an apk from a secondary user to owner

piero

I have an app that I had to install from a Play Store located in a different country than my Play store in my owner account, on a secondary user.
Since there is really no point in running the app on the secondary user, can I copy the apk on the owner profile and install it there?

piero You cannot, you likely need to re-setup the app on the owner profile.

Do you mean, the app checks for non-Playstore installation? Or it just didn't show up in owner profile Play Store?

You can't push apps from secondary to the owner. Only owner profile has this privilege.

Try the reverse order.

Install the apk in the main user (using aurora store or apkupdater) and copy it to the secondary just to have the possibility to update it.
Or alternatively, keep aurora/apkupdater in the owner user and update it with that if you don't need to pass any Google Protect whatever service.
