After the installation comes the message: Apk not in possession.
Can you suppress that?
You get that whenever you install an app that is from the Amazon market and you don't have the app store either installed or you didn't get it directly from the market on your device. usually the best work around for this is to install the Android TV version from the Google play store rather than Amazon store. Or you you can just download the app directly from the Amazon store.
For example if you install the Amazon version of Hulu and you don't have the Amazon app store active on your device it's going to tell you that you don't own it. But if you install the Android TV version of Hulu from the Google play store it doesn't do the check for the Amazon app store and runs fine.
That is also clear to me, but is there perhaps a way to bypass the Amazon exam?
Amazon apk are not in possession
As I know, Hulu is a streaming service. Or did you mean something else?
I don't have an Amazon account and I mainly want to download and install apps such as Joyn or Pluto TV. Amazon forbids me to do that.

I'm in a stupid situation. The few app purchases I've made on Amazon's app store were made on a different Amazon account than my current Amazon prime account. Is there a way to download the apk for an Amazon app store app which I purchased previously so I can side load it on to my FireTV Stick?
I've been able to side load apps from the Google Play Store just fine but how do you download an apk (the version specifically meant for FireTV stick) of a paid app you purchased on Amazon's app store? Any help is much appreciated.
Please disregard this thread. Looks like when you deregister an amazon account from a FireTV Stick and register a different one, the apps are still installed.
Actually, I'd love to know how to do this for a different reason. Is there a way to extract the official firetv apk of some apps? I would love to sideload an app that isn't available in my region, but one that others have access to.
Im very green to this amazon fire tv.
I sent a few apps to AFTV with adbFire on the pc fairly easy but neither the google apps or the vudu apps i tried worked.
The google ones just went blank and back to FTV and the vudu one only lets me get into the search function (with the ftv remote)
Not sure if I missed a step. Main goal is to get vudu working.
-sorry if this is in the wrong area :/
We need more info to be able to help you. Is your device rooted? If its not rooted then the Play Store will not work. The Play Store can be installed it just won't work unless yoour Fire TV is rooted. What is the prolem with VUDU? Is it that you cannot move around inside the app with the remote? If so its because you need either a USB or Bluetooth mouse or an app on your phone/tabet that acts as a mouse. I recommend that you install Wukong Remote on your phone/tablet if you do not have a USB or Bluetooth mouse. Wukong remote is an app you can get from the play store that you install on your phone/table and the Fire TV, and it can act as a Fire TV Remote or a mouse.
Also, the play store does not work on nonrooted devces, but you can install third party app stores. I recommend "1Mobile Market" "Blackmart" and "Aptoide". I use these three app stores to keep all my apps updated and to download any apps I need or want. You can find 1Mobile Market, Blackmart and Aptoide by doing a Google search. One thing to know about third party app stores is to never auto update apps or update all apps. Update apps one at a time and make sure that the version numbers are actually an upgrade and not a downgrade or the same exact version. Third party app store apps have different signatures so sometimes they assume a downgrade is actually an upgrade, but if you pay attention to version numbers and update apps one at a time you should be fine.
To get Google apps working on nonrooted devices look for my thread on here titled "A few good apps", it will have a link to download the four apps needed to make most Google apps work. The thread should be on page two of the themes and apps section here in the Fire TV forums. When you install the four apps do not update Google Play Services past Version 7.0.99, cause its the latest version that works on the Fire TV.

Thanks, looking forward to your upload so I can test it out.
Here are the APk's i extracted from my 4k fire tv stick last night.
the only one working on a non amazon device is my5.
all4 and itv hub appear to be wrappers not proper apps - still if someone could get them working for non amazon devices there are loads of people requesting them in various threads( shield, sony tv, philips tv etc .,pretty much all android tv devices would benefit)
OK so I tested out my5 on my shield with amazon appstore installed and logged in, I also then tried to use lucky patcher to remove amazon appstore dependencies and am still greeted with the same screen either way.

Is there a way we could maybe spoof the shield so its seen as an amazon fire TV device in the amazon appstore - then it may actually let us download directly without having to sideload.

I installed the my5 app on my philips android tv, it complained about no amazon app store when i first opened it, so installed amazon underground, then it worked no problem

I have tried this aswel but same thing for me - tells me I don't own it.
When I check amazon underground it says I need to update to the new amazon app store which I previously had installed. I wish there was a way past this - you can see it loading up all in the background and can tell it will work when you can get that message of the screen but just have no idea how
OK so I finally found a way to get this to work, install amazon appstore on any other android device that's not android TV. Install the apps from there - then when you use the apk on shield it will now say you own it and not bother you anymore. Installed my5 and is working perfectly, way better than the side loaded app I was using for all these years (would have been fine if they didn't update so now it doesn't work on android TV anymore). So thank you amazon, last mission is to get all4 from either fire TV or Sony TV somehow and then all apps will be remote friendly. The all4 amazon apps I've found seem to be wrappers and not actual apps...
I've given up trying to get all4 and ITV hub working, now using the ITV hub pluggin via plex which works a treat and removes the ads, so even the mrs likes it better than the itv hub app.
Hello, I have recently rooted my 4k Fire Stick (mantis) and debloated it using a couple of threads on this forum and so far so good. Now I have a question about installing a paid app from the Google Play store.
I want to download install a PAID app available from the Google Play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.colucciweb.vpnclientpro&hl=en_US) and need to install the 'Pro' version, but can't figure out how to do this on my Fire Stick. I have a couple of Android tablets that I pay through the Google Play store and I'm trying to figure out how to do on the Fire Stick.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks!

If you have the VPN app on your tablet, use the following app to extract the VPN apk on the tablet. Then do an "adb install" of the extracted apk on your firestick.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui
The firestick does not have Google Play Services to enable use of the Play Store. I have seen several posts in this forum about problems caused by try to install Google Play Services, so I would not attempt it.

Thank you so much! I will try this later afternoon. Yes, I do have the paid VPN apk on my tablet which happens to be rooted.
Brilliant... this works! Thanks so much for the tip.
anyone successful in installing SBS on demand on the firestick? It's not available on the amazon store. I tried sideloading but it's looking for google play services. Thanks.
SBS on demand is a streaming service https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/
did you get it to work?
I got the app to install but when I try to play anything it complains about Google Play Services not available but if you look here https://help.sbs.com.au/hc/en-au/ar...cid=od:edm:acwatchlist:relation:device:cta:na
it says the fire stick is compatiable, so there must be an amazon specfic version
try this, official apk, but it may complain "you are not owned this application" due to the geo country checking
