About this APK
HappyCast is an app by karlchentuo in the Tools category, listed since at least March 2019. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

HappyCast APK: questions and answers
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.
Is the HappyCast APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 436974f8012a9feff80fe932a9a659e0.
