@paweel-srt For some reason you need to uninstall app from Google Play first

Ok, I've figured out my case.
My Samsung has 64-bit ARM CPU, but in fact it runs under 32-bit Android. It's a typical, but non-obvious move on a budget phones to decrease energy consumption.
So steps to check if .apk doesn't install:

  • Android version
  • Android de facto arch
