FAQ Q: My Standalone application is not found on my static server?A: Make sure you have sssp_config.xml in the directory as well.The standalone application can’t be downloaded directly from the browser/URL but only works on the display. Q: The link for installation/update is not working. An error “Unable to download” occurs when accessing the update links.A: The Tizen app on its own can NOT be downloaded. The link URL has to be used from within the Tizen URL launcher itself.

If you are using a URL with a trailing slash, try to remove it. Lastly, if you are still experiencing issues downloading the app to your Tizen device, check the correct date and time on the display. Q: The Tizen device can’t download the application core app. There is an error displayed: Unable to connect to the server.
