I'm trying to get Yomichan by FooSoft to install on Nightly for Android (v117.0a1) to no success. Here's what I've tried:
- 1. Add Yomichan to a custom add-on collection.
- 2. Go to the add-on manager and tap on install.
- 3. A little toast that says "Failed to install Yomichan" comes up instantly (see screenshot attached). Nothing is even downloaded.
Notes and information:
- a. The development of Yomichan has ceased and the version on AMO is behind by 3 years (June 4, 2020).
- b. The latest version of Yomichan (October 23, 2022) is only available as an XPI file on the add-on developer's GitHub page. Unfortunately, it is not possible to install add-ons from XPI files on Nightly for Android, so I have no idea if this version would work on Nightly for Android.
- c. Another user (Occupied Octopus) uploaded a rebranded version of Yomichan's latest release in 'note b' called "KiYomi" to AMO. Unfortunately, installation fails on Nightly for Android too, with the same results as in the screenshot after attempting to install it.
- d. Installation of other add-ons (e.g. uBlock Origin, SingleFile) succeeds.
