I also have 1020. On build 10166 I managed to connect and install ONE!!! Apk, and it was the first one I tried. And that app didn’t work super well. After that, no other apks could be installed.
And the phone also got very slow and I couldn’t update the win10 to build 10536 directly. I then rerolled the phone back to Win8.1 and then once again back to Win10, this time to build 10536.
It was here that I started getting Error=14. So I think it’s not possible to use Astoria on 1020 on build 10536. And on build 10166 it is not very smooth.
But I did manage to have it work once. I am now going back to build 10166 to try some more.
And that is a shame, because build 10536 is much better. But I really want the Tidal music app to work on my Lumia 1020, so I’ll keep on trying.
