From March 10 it will not be possible to install applications in Wear OS from outside your store, This was announced by Google a few days ago in a statement. Mobile phone users install apps, but this will be reduced by approximately two weeks due to the decision to access the operating system's own store.
Fortunately, thanks to different tools, this restriction will be able to continue jumping thanks to the existence of Wear Installer, an application that is quite important right now. If you have a smartwatch with Wear OS, the benefits are many, especially if you want to install an APK.
Malcolm Bryant decided to create Wear Installer to bypass the crash, a method that works perfectly and is sure to be widely used by many. If you have a smartwatch with Wear Os, it will be the method that works from within the next month, where this support will be terminated.
