Shortly after this story went live, we received an update from Amazon with the following statement: Considering that the problem was originally posted back at the end of October, we’re hoping that a fix arrives soon, and maybe Amazon can shed some light on what happened. However, it’s unclear as to what has changed with the Android 12 update making it impossible to view, download, install, or use apps from the Amazon Appstore. Speculation about the problem points to Amazon’s DRM which would affect both paid and free apps on the Appstore. But combing through the responses, it appears that the problem is affecting any device running Android 12, including the Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 6, and others.

I checked and they are still working on the resolution.Īt least we know that the problems aren’t limited to the Pixel 6, as that would cause a whole lot of headaches by itself. Our technical team is aware of the issue. So sorry to know you all are experiencing the issue with Amazon Appstore on Android 12. While it seems that it is possible to install the Amazon Appstore app itself, none of the app listings can be viewed or accessed.Ī fix is likely in the works and could be released sooner rather than later, as an Amazon Staff member replied to primary “question” on the Amazon Forums: However, if you’ve recently updated to Android 12, or picked up the Pixel 6 and tried to use the Amazon Appstore, you’ve been met with a rather annoying frustration.

This includes the Amazon Appstore, which was created to house a vast library of apps on the company’s Fire Tablet lineup of devices. You could side load apps manually, provided that you trust the source, but with Android you also have the ability to use third-party app stores. While the Google Play Store is the home for most of the best Android apps, it’s not the only place to get them.
