There's an open bug that matches this: zapstore/zapstore issue #406, "Larger app update downloads cancel silently before completion" (opened Oct 18). Downloads start, then reset before 100% with no error. Bigger apps like Primal fail while small ones finish. The dev replied "Fixing in next release". 1.1.3 came out Oct 20, but the issue is still open, so it may not be fully fixed yet.
What's worth trying meanwhile:
- Check Settings > Apps > Zapstore to see which version you have.
- Try a small app first. If small ones install and big ones reset, it's this bug.
- Turn off any VPN. The reporter had Tailscale on, and turning it off helped a bit but didn't fix it.
- Stay on stable Wi-Fi with the screen on and Zapstore open until it finishes.
If it still happens on 1.1.3, adding your phone model and Android version to #406 helps them reproduce it: github.com/zapstore/zapstore/issues/406
I checked a few minutes ago and relay.zapstore.dev and zapstore.dev are both up, so it's not an outage.
