Back on February 10th, BlackBerry issued an update to the Android Runtime for BlackBerry 10 which corrected errors that occurred when uninstalling Android apps from the system on OS 10.3.2.2876. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to download the update due to connection errors that popped up within BlackBerry World. Those errors have now been corrected and the Android Runtime update should be accessible to all. Additionally, various other connection errors within BlackBerry World, such as updating apps should also be corrected now.
Updating the Android Runtime is easy, you just simply have to click on the URL leading to the update and install it from there. It must be done from your BlackBerry 10 browser and it must not be in Desktop Mode or the update will not show. Once updated, you will have to restart your device in order for the updated Runtime to work properly. Although it's noted in the description, it's worth mentioning again. If you're NOT having any issues with the Android Runtime, you don't really need to download this. Let us know in the comments if it's now working for you.
