What are PairIP Checks? How Does it Lead to “Get this App from Play Store”

Pairip, or PairIP, is an application integrity protection mechanism developed by Google that checks for authorized usage/modifications of Android apps. It performs four major tasks- License Verification, Signature Validation, Tamper Detection, and CodeVirtualization. Out of this, its first task, License Verifications, is what is leading to this issue. Right after you sideload an APK file, it checks if the app was legitimately installed from the Play Store or via a third-party site.

If the latter is the case, you’ll be greeted with the “Get this App From Play” prompt. And if you are planning to take matters into your own hands by decompiling the APK, making some changes to it to bypass this check, and then recompiling it, well, there’s some bad news for you. Its second feature, Signature Validation, is designed just for that purpose.

It will check the app’s signature and verify if the app has been repacked or re-signed by any means whatsoever. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t let you install the app onto your device. Fortunately, as of now, we do have a couple of workarounds that might help you overcome this restrictive “Get this App From Play Store” issue. So without any further ado, let’s check them out.

For these tweaks to work, your device needs to be rooted. We tried using some non-root methods [via Shizuku], but unfortunately, they weren’t able to address this issue. So only proceed if you’re fine with this requirement. And, do take a backup beforehand, just to be on the safer side.

UPDATE: It seems that we now have to use both the fixes togheter, simply using either the first or the second one will not get the job done.

Via PairIP Fix

1. To begin with, root your device via Magisk / KernelSU / APatch .
2. After that, download, install, and set up LSPosed Framework.
3. Then, download and install the PairIP Fix app on your device.
4. Next, open LSPosed > go to Modules > PairIP Fix > Enable it.
5. Now, checkmark the issue-causing app and restart the device.
6. Once done, now download, install, and setup HideMyApplist .
7. Then launch it, create a blacklist of all rooted apps, and apply this blacklist to your app.
8. [UPDATE: This is no longer required] Now launch Magisk, go to Settings, Configure Denylist, and add the following apps to it Google Play Store Google Play Service Your App
9. Then delete the data of the aforementioned apps and restart your device.
10. UPDATE: After this, install the BetterKnownInstalled from the below fix and restart your device.
11. That’s it. This should fix the Get this app from Play error. You have bypassed the PairIP check as well.

Droidwin’s Take on this Matter

I know privacy and security are of paramount importance to us. But instead of putting. ablanket ban on it, it would have been a much better approach if it had simply warned us of the repercussions [PS: it already does so] and allowed us to install the app, when we agree to the risks involved. But by implementing these restrictions, it is slowly but surely destroying the sole identity of the OS- an open source ecosystem on which it prides itself, or well, used to.

Anyways, that is not the case, and things are only going from bad to worse. For now, we do have a couple of workarounds that will help you bypass these restrictions and install the APK of your choice. However, sooner than later, the Silicon Valley giant will definitely end up patching these tweaks. So make hay while the sun shines because the gloomy days are ahead!
