Installing an APK

Function

This asynchronous API is used to install APKs on cloud phones. The system downloads specified APKs and installs them on the cloud phones. To install a single-APK application, run the install command. Only one APK can be installed at a time. If multiple APKs are specified at a time, only the first APK will be successfully installed. To install a multiple-APK application, run the install-multiple command to install multiple APKs (a single APK is split into multiple APKs). Only multiple APKs of the same application can be installed at a time. Before calling this API, ensure that the CPH service has been authorized to operate OBS buckets. For details, see Delegating CPH to Operate OBS Buckets.

The management plane performance is limited. Executing ADB commands in batches on the same cloud phone server blocks the execution of other tasks on the cloud phone.
You are advised to install APKs by developing an app store. You can only install an APK up to 2 GB in an OBS bucket on a cloud phone. If an APK exceeds 2 GB, an error message will be returned.
