Keeps saying stop the app manually and nothing happens ://

Closed this issue ยท 24 comments

I installed instagram apk from apkmirror. And then I tried clicking kill and launch instagram button on IGexperiments app, but it kept saying stop the app manually ( I've given the lsposed and magisk rights).
And when i stop the app, and launch nothing happens.
Would be great if someone could help me out :))

Hey, can you please confirm if you installed one of the supported Instagram versions?

Yep, I did. it was the 305 version

oh I ran into the same issue now, however dev options were enabled, thx for reporting this!

can you please try to open Instagram, click and hold on the home button?

Hey again, so I the issue appears to be with the new Instagram versions.

The tool would still be able to enable developer options, but can't force stop and start Instagram app automatically.

I will try to push an update with a fix today.

btw, can u plz confirm if the developer options were enabled? (click and hold on the Instagram home button to check that)

So I found where the issue is, I will push a new pull request right away!

Here's what were causing the issue:

Instagram older versions =< 302:

New Instagram versions > 302:

Heyyy, sorry for the delay, but the dev options werent enabled for me for some reason :((
Do you want me to try out something?

Have you tried to force stop the Instagram app?

Have you tried to force stop the Instagram app?

yepp, I did. So i installed the apk, and signed in and then force stopped it. And then I opened the IGexperiment app, and then opened instagram, but nothing seemed to happen

hmm, no you have to install the Instagram app first, open IGexperiments app then force close Instagram, sign in and you should be able to see dev options.

oh and another thing, you should add the Instagram app to the module scope!

So the thing is, after installing app and then opening IGexperiments, I dont get the option to force close the app. The force close app option appears only after I sign in.
Heres a screenshot after I just installed the app.

It's not about signing in, it's about launching the app, but that shouldn't be a problem...

I will push a new update in under 5 minutes or so.

will send you a testing apk, test it and tell me what happens.

here you go!

can you please test it?

https://github.com/ReSo7200/IGexperiments/releases/tag/hotfix

sure gimme a minute ๐Ÿ˜„

note that it would show the same toast of "Stop the app manually", but it would force close and run Instagram.

first time it will close it self, click on kill and launch Instagram button again.

this is for testing only I will fix the toast issue later.

here you go!

can you please test it?

Hey so the kill and launchworks but the thing is dev options werent enabled.
I installed the IGexperiments, then installed the instagram app. then I pressed the kill and launch instagram, which worked. But the dev options werent enabled. Any idea?

Strange...

I just tested it on 2 rooted devices and 1 non rooted it works just fine.

Can you check the logs of lsposed? Please clear the logs of lsposed, try igexperiments and then check the logs.

Sure, by the way. About updating the app, I read the readme, but I still had a doubt.
After installing the new apk and patching it through lsposed. It asks to uninstall and install the new apk. So is that supposed to happen? Or is it supposed to just update the old to new apk without deleting the app?

Hmm strange, I guess for rooted users you don't have to patch anything.

After enabling developer options, you have to enable the options noted in readme.

Disable IGexpeirments from lsposed (so it doesn't try to hook into a non existed method in the new instagram)

Download and install a new version.

And that's it.
