I bought a Xiaomi Mi5 128GB/ 4GB version in China (I am in China at the moment). I installed the Google Play Store as instructed. It gets launched (after connecting to an USA VPN client as Google is blocked in China) and shows me the available apps (I searched for ICICI Bank). However, when I press ‘Install’ I get an error ‘Can’t download app’ can’t be downloaded. Try again and if the problem continues…………..(Error retrieving information from server. [DF-DLA-15]).
Can I get some help please 🙂
