Sample Instant App Requires Newer SDK

I'm keep getting the error at the bottom of the question even though I followed official emulator setup guide and sample project setup guide to the letter. Using: - Android Studio

Solution 1:

Creating an API 26 (aka O) emulator allowed me to successfully install the Instant App, while otherwise following the guide. Hat-tip to donly from Github project android-instant-apps Workarounds I tried unsuccessfully first:

• Uninstalling "Google Play Services for Instant Apps" (from the other answer)
• Downgrading to Android Studio 3.0 Canary 5
• Using a physical device that can run instant apps (Galaxy S6 SM-G920V, Android 7.0)

Solution 2:

This might be an issue on our end. Thanks for reporting. Please try the following workaround:

• Settings -> Apps
• Find Google Play Services for Instant Apps.
• Uninstall this app.

You might get a notification when it's uninstalled, but please ignore it.

Now proceed to run your instant app again. This issue should go away.

Solution 3:

It works for me to switch to API O X86 emulator.
