A lot of friends, especially M-Series users had query regarding core and some other apps not installing or working properly. I would like to address that this issue is arising due to use of incompatible variant of APKs.
As you might be aware of different variants of APKs optimized for different hardwares. Apps are made for different architecture depending upon chipsets. For eg. armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86.
Similarly, Samsung provides different variants of APKs depending upon the type of device/model.
Galaxy M-Series uses a different variant of APK from rest of the models. Since only one APK can be uploaded to the Google Play Store, Samsung only uploads/registers basic APK for basic models as a representative.
That is why sometimes you are unable to install apps on Google Play Store. But Galaxy Store supports multiple versions of APKs for various Samsung devices, so all users can download compatible apps. Therefore it is always advised to use Galaxy Store to install apps for the best working and compatible version.
