"App isn't installed" error when trying to use shortcuts on android

I recently changed phone to a Google Pixel 6a (android 13). The app is working great, except for the shortcuts (long press on app grid) which raises an “App isn't installed" error, preventing me from launching my mix or identifying songs being played around me…

I have reinstalled the app several times, deleted both the storage and cache, and I do not know how to get rid of this error...

Ho @Abrooch, sorry to hear that experience. 
We can’t replicate this issue to our side. This problem can be related with or device so I’m suggesting the following step: 

f you are using the battery saving mode on your device, turn it off while you are carrying out this test.
•    Open the Deezer app ➡ Gearwheel in the top right corner ➡ Data and storage ➡ Clear all.
•    Stay on the Data and storage page and under Smart Cache, slide the marker to the left so that it reaches 32Mb, then slide it to the right to reach 2GB (you can move it up to 10GB if your device has that much storage).
•    Tap again on the Gearwheel in the top right corner ➡ Log out at the bottom of the page.
•    Turn off your device for a few seconds then turn it back on.
•    Log in to Deezer with your email and password.
•    Stream a few songs and navigate in the app.

What about other apps ? 

Do you have the same issue with others ? 

 

Do you use the beta version ?

Hi!

Thanks for trying to help me. I do not have this error with any other app (as far as I can tell). I don’t think I am using the beta version, my app is on version 7.0.32.67.

Hi,

I have followed your instructions. Unfortunately, this did not resolve my issue, and the same error remains…

Hello @Abrooch sorry to hear that steps didn’t help.

Can you please try to record a video of the issue as I couldn’t reproduce on my side so far. Thanks

I have to same problem. And it´s not a Pixel problem! Got the same problem on S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra. So it has to be a Deezer bug.

I've made a video on my S21 Ultra with all updates installed just after a factory reset. What you are watching is first start-up of Deezer. So you must conclude it's not an account problem since not logged in and not other software, since it's factory. The big had to be with the Deezer app.

Following more investigations, I’ve found following:

Version 7.0.27.27 is working fine, but from 7.0.28.69 and onwards it’s broken.

So my solution for now has been to install 7.0.27.27 from APK. Can¨t wait for Deezer to figure this out.
