What settings did you have to use? I just updated the app on my Huawei mediapad m3 and it worked fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still worked. I don't have screen overlay set for apk extractor, but I got the message screen overlay detected from two other apps. Those two apps do have screen overlay set to on.

What finally worked on Android 6.0
go to settings
go to application manager
go to 3 dots in upper right
go to configure apps
go to draw over other apps in the list
in the box that probably says Enabled, click to go to apps with permission
turn them all off

Some of the websites said to turn them off in the Enabled, but mine were greyed out, but apps with permission let me turn them off.

Hope this helps.

Some of your apps that use draw over other apps may not work correctly with that turned off. I use screendim full and it doesn't work properly with that setting turned off. But like I said before apk extractor works for me even with apps set to draw over other apps. It just flashes a quick message that other apps have that permission.

So far, so good on the other apps. Since this is my reader tablet, I seldom use anything but Calibre Companion and reader apps - mainly Bookari and Moon+ if Bookari can't read a book. Probably would be more dangerous turning them off on my phone.

Bookari question:
Where are the annotations kept/stored? And how does one back them up (offline)?

Thanks Tom

i think you will find a .db database file in the same folder as the bookari install.
backup that folder using file utilities.
alternatively - they sell a cloud option with a free for some functions option. it could be that you can use that to get them into their cloud, and you can view that from a PC

i used to be a fan, but their customer support is useless and after they screwed up by breaking features in multiple updates I switched to Moon+, never went back
