No app auto-start on Firestick with Projectivy and IPVanish

APKs (Android Apps)
1

Happily set up Projectivy on my firestick to connect to IPVanish at start-up. IPVanish set up for auto-connection and once connected to open another Firestick app. All working fine until recently. Firestick not had any updates that I am aware of and is an older 4K Max.

Any thoughts on what might be going on would be very helpful.

Many thanks.

Sorry to hear about your issues with the Fire Stick.

If you do a search, you will find that Amazon is turning the lights off for most, if not all, side-loading. The posts should be easy to find.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Can Amazon do this without using updates? No updates installed prior to my problem occurring.

Thanks again

Nice to know that you are still OK in USA.

As noted per AI…

Yes, Amazon can change, remove, or update content, app availability, and the user interface on Fire Sticks without a full system firmware update

. Through cloud-based, server-side changes, Amazon routinely alters the home screen, updates installed apps, and manages content to enforce, for example, the blocking of third-party launchers.
