BBC America APK: questions and answers
Does BBC America need Google Play services?
Yes. The APK declares Google Play services as required, so it may not work on phones without them, such as recent Huawei models.
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
