# SharinPix app link directs to Google Play Store instead of the SharinPix app on Android 12. What should I do?

The recent app verification changes made by Google on the latest Android versions may cause the SharinPix mobile app universal links starting with the following formats to not work as expected:

<mark style="color:$danger;">`https://app.sharinpix.com/native_app/upload?token=...`</mark>

<mark style="color:$danger;">`https://app.sharinpix.com/native_upload?token=...`</mark>

**Kindly note that this has already been resolved in the latest version of the app. Please update from the Google Play Store.**

Other workarounds to resolve this issue are to either:

1. Modify your implementation to use the SharinPix deeplink <mark style="color:$danger;">`sharinpix://upload?token=...`</mark> instead of the SharinPix universal link.
2. Or change the SharinPix app settings on the user's device directly. This approach does not require changes to your current SharinPix implementation. To set up this workaround, follow the steps below:

   * On the user's device, open the **App info** for the SharinPix mobile app:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sharinpix.com/faqs/sharinpix-app-link-directs-to-google-play-store-instead-of-the-sharinpix-app-on-android-12-what-shou.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
