Frequently Asked Questions:
Read on for the answers to the commonly asked questions:
Does ACMarket Only Support Android?
Although it is primarily an Android installer, you can install it on iOS devices and on desktop, following our very simple guides.
Does My Android Device Need To Be Rooted?
No, but you won’t get the full experience of the installer if you don’t. ACMarket will modify any apps or games already on a rooted device, giving them the new features, and you have less chance of the Play Store blocking apps and games that are used over the internet.
Will My Warranty Be Voided?
No, not by using the installer. It is a safe installer and doesn’t hack the Android security to work so your warranty can’t be voided. However, if you choose to use tweaks that modify your device, you may have to remove them if you need to take your device to a repair store.
ACMarket Error Fixes:
While ACMarket is a reputable app installer, on occasion, it may stop working. Don’t worry because the solution is simple:
Method 1: Resetting App Preferences
This is the most common solution:
- Open Android Settings and go to Apps/App Manager
- Tap All Apps and then Reset App Preferences
- Tap Reset Now, and try the app again – it should be okay
Method 2: Clear Package Installer Cache and Data
- Open your Settings and go to Apps (App Manager)
- Tap on System Apps
- Tap Package Installer
- Tap on, in turn, Clear Data and then Clear Cache
- Try the installer again, and it should work
If you are on Android Marshmallow, find these options in Storage
Method 3: Enable Unknown Sources
You can’t install any unofficial content without enabling this setting:

- Close settings
If the app still doesn’t work, remove it from your device. Make sure you keep that option enabled and then reinstall it.
