D1 diagram: reference, object and next step
Reference, object, outcome: keep the questions separate.

Use the web-to-store chain

The publisher’s website is the starting point for identifying its Android and Apple destinations. Compare the app title and seller on the destination, then keep the stable item identifier. A logo copied onto an APK archive is not enough.

The reference source observations are dated 2 November 2026. D1 has not installed the app or measured its runtime permissions.

An Android update must match the installed product

Keep the existing version, package and original distribution channel before changing an installation. A refused update can involve compatibility, free space or the relation between the existing and incoming package. The message matters more than the general phrase “not downloading”.

A package from another source needs its own publisher and signing evidence. Do not assume that an older filename restores current account or media features.

iPhone and iPad depend on the selected storefront

Inspect the Apple item for the device’s supported system and regional availability. An item visible on the public web can still have different acquisition conditions on a particular handset. An Android requirement cannot be reused as an iOS diagnosis.

A browser shortcut is another format. It does not inherit background-notification behaviour simply because it opens the same site.

Installed successfully, but no match alerts

First verify that the app opens and the intended fixture is selected. Then inspect notification permission, the chosen match alerts and device restrictions on background delivery. Record whether only one match is affected or all notifications are absent.

If the alert arrives late, compare its event with the live-score commentary. A message about a previous ball is not necessarily a new score error.

PC, APK mirrors and old releases need independent evidence

A functioning desktop website does not establish a Windows installer. An archived mobile build may retain old labels without the corresponding current service. Keep the platform in a support question so a mobile-only instruction is not applied to a computer.

Installer size is not a measure of per-match mobile-data consumption. Scores, images and video have different workloads.

Do not use an app reinstall as a billing receipt

Before removing software, retain any Plus receipt, account identifier and support reference. An uninstall does not demonstrate cancellation or erase a remote account. Billing questions should identify the actual merchant and product.
