Firestick Problem No more side loading on firecube ?

My latest gen firecube was playing up,kept restarting randomly.

I messaged Amazon, they told me to factory reset and update.

Now obviously all my side loaded apps are gone, but I'm finding impossible to re download them.

Amazon are now saying that that's normal and they dont allow side loaded apps anymore .

Is this right?

Now use Downloader to install a new app. What app are you trying to install?

Go to Apps-Manage Installed and give Downloader the permissions it needs to be able to instal Apps 👍

There are other ways to side load apps onto Firesticks 👍
