Which Android version are you using and do you have Google Play services installed?

[rebelgiri]

Google Play services, Yes I have installed.
Android version 9 PKQ1.181203.001
(Android 9 Pie)

Issue:

[rebelgiri]

I just realized this application is not available worldwide. It is only for Germany. So I can not download It.
Actually I wanted to scan the barcode given by corona test center to determine the results of covid-19 test.

Hello @rebelgiri,

the Corona-Warn app currently is available in multiple European countries. Please check out the FAQ: https://www.coronawarn.app/en/faq/#international.
You should be able to switch to one of these PlayStores to be able to download the application.

Thanks,

Now, the problem is Google Play Store allows to change region only once in a year.

@rebelgiri which country are you currently using?
If its not yet supported, you can create an entry in the wishlist repo for your country or upvote an existing one: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-backlog/issues/9#issuecomment-648745301

@rebelgiri you can also grab recent APK and sideload it: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/robert-koch-institut/corona-warn-app/corona-warn-app-1-1-1-release/corona-warn-app-1-1-1-android-apk-download/

Note that it won't update automatically, and as soon as CWA is released in your Play Store country you should uninstall it and install from Play Store, but for now I guess using it like this is better than not using at all.

Thank you all for your support, I will close this issue as problem is resolved. I am using APK for now as suggested by @kbobrowski.
@daimpi Yes I will upvote it.
