Hello, Does anyone have an idea how to connect it? The instructions I've got are not working.

What instructions are you using? Can you elaborate on what is not working?

Thanks! I'm following this link https://central.toasttab.com/s/article/Bluestacks-Download-Guide

Tried on both my Mac and a PC - maybe I'm not downloading the right version? When I type toasttab.com/link/apk into the browser, nothing really happens. Does that make sense?

Ok, BlueStacks stopped supporting mac, so I'd focus on PC for now. The toasttab just downloads the toast app itself , have you been able to get BlueStacks itself installed at least? Maybe you missed that step. https://www.bluestacks.com/download.html

Thank you again! Got to the point where the apk is pending to be installed but it failed twice. Any idea why?

Are you getting any specific error or just sorry this app could not be installed?

Bluestacks apk handler - apk install timeout

Are you opening the browser within bluestacks itself then navigating to the toasttab apk link or trying to import from Windows?

trying to open the apk using the bluestacks application - wasn't able to even go into bluestacks - I do not see a way to navigate to a browser from bluestacks - I might just need help over the phone - I definitely doing something wrong

Once you open blue stacks you still need to open what is the app player (the main screen is just for advertising and installing games)

Then you can open up chrome and finish the install of toast

if you have windows, go ahead and download windows subsystem for android by installing the Amazon App Store from Microsoft store. Then you’re going to download WSA side loader then you gonna download the APK for Toastn install Toast from the side loader make sure you allow add debugging to all the time.

lastly, in order to have the W WSA work for Toast do you wanna go to develop options after you turn them on under settings and you’re gonna want to go to minimum width? Do you wanna make sure it’s greater than 1000 dpi a view which won’t work well

there’s also permissions that you need to allow for Toast pretty much all of them, but one of the major ones are gonna be display notifications over other apps and allow to install from unknown sources. Location needs to be set to always have access to your system feel free to reach out any questions

Hello- Is there a workaround if you can't get Amazon App Store to download- it keeps erroring out. I'm also stuck where BlueStack doesn't find toasttab.com/link/apk.

Thank you!
