Error when trying to install a apk via apk link

[Vofchuk]

Hello, thank you for your amazing package. I'm having problems when trying to install a apk with a provided link.

The app is already set as the device owner and I'm getting this error:

E/MethodChannel#device_policy_controller( 8781): java.lang.ClassCastException
E/MethodChannel#device_policy_controller( 8781): 	at io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodCall.argument(MethodCall.java:76)

this is the code I'm running:

final dpc = DevicePolicyController.instance;
 try {
    var res = await dpc.installApplication(
        "https://my.zello.com/data/android/latest/zello.apk?_gl=1*1iny5l8*_ga*MTY1NjkyNjMyLjE2OTUwNTM0NDg.*_ga_BNXNBXHVY5*MTY5ODQxMjQ1My4xOS4wLjE2OTg0MTI0NTQuNTkuMC4w");
    print(res);
  } on Exception catch (e) {
    print(e);
  }```

I've fixed this issue on your code by changing the line: return await _methodChannel.invokeMethod('installApplication', apkUrl);
to:
return await _methodChannel .invokeMethod('installApplication', {"apkUrl": apkUrl});

(I'll make a pull request as soon as I fix this other issue:)

but now I always get the error:

No matter what I do, the app installer seems to be not available (tested In more than one phone)

Hey @Vofchuk , were you able to fix the issue and get the installer to be available?

[Vofchuk]

Unfortunately I don't think so

This package is abandoned.
