What's new in v8.8-rc-1

We tidied up a few gremlins hiding in your listening queue. Episode ordering in the large widget now behaves so Up Next actually means next. On the Podcasts tab, we show the podcast title when artwork decides to ghost you. We also fixed an issue where Up Next would not sync after adding a custom file for some of you.

Fewer mysteries, more listening.

How to install Pocket Casts - Podcast App v8.8-rc-1 on Android 7.0 Nougat+

Takes about 2 minutes. You'll need roughly 31.8 MB of free storage.

  1. Grab au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts_9415.apk — hit the Download button above (31.8 MB). If your browser warns about APK files, choose Keep or Download anyway — that warning fires on every APK, not just this one.
  2. Trust your browser to install — on Android 8+ go to Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps, pick the app you downloaded with (Chrome, Firefox, Files, etc.), and flip Allow from this source. On older Android, toggle Unknown sources under Security.
  3. (Optional) Verify the file — compute the MD5 of the downloaded APK and make sure it matches 1f3508d2635bda2a…. Any difference means the file is corrupted or tampered — delete and re-download.
  4. Open the APK — tap the download notification, or find au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts_9415.apk in your Files app under Downloads, then tap it. Android's package installer will appear.
  5. Check the signer — the install screen will name the publisher. For this build it should read CN=Shifty Jelly, OU=Shifty Jelly, O=Shifty Jelly, L=Adelaide, ST=South Australia, C=AU. If it doesn't match, cancel — you have the wrong file.
  6. Review permissions & tap Install — scroll the permission list, then confirm. If Play Protect flags it, tap Install anyway (this APK was scanned as TRUSTED).
  7. Done — open Pocket Casts - Podcast App — tap Open on the install screen, or find the Pocket Casts - Podcast App icon in your app drawer (this build targets x86/x86-64/armeabi-v7a/arm64-v8a devices).
Common install errors for Pocket Casts - Podcast App
  • "App not installed" — usually means an older or differently-signed version is already on your device. Uninstall it first, then retry. Your data may be lost unless you back it up.
  • "Parse error" — the APK is for a newer Android than yours. This version needs Android 7.0 Nougat or later. Pick an older build from the versions list below.
  • "There was a problem parsing the package" — the download was interrupted. Delete the file and re-download over Wi-Fi.
  • Works on one phone but not another — this build ships x86/x86-64/armeabi-v7a/arm64-v8a native code. Devices with a different CPU will reject it.
