From time to time, we still get the issue as described in this thread: [The app could not be installed - still](https://forum.litium.com/t/the-app-could-not-be-installed-still/2864) The solution I posted did not work for another project, so it must have been a coincidence. The list of solutions we’ve tried from the other thread still applies: - Using a clean docker-compose.yaml file from the docs - Only defining dnsresolver together with the DirectPay app in docker compose - Changing the dnsresolver ip from 192.168.65.5 to 192.168.65.7 as per the docs - Tried with both [localtest.me](http://localtest.me/) and localhost domains - Upgrading docker desktop - Using the latest cytopia/bind - Upgrading and downgrading the DirectPayment app - Re-trusted the dev cert and re-exported it - Deleted data folder and restarted/rebuilt the containers - Checked the database for conflicting apps Litium version: 8.7.2 ---

Me and a collegue spent like an entire day trying to get the apps to work properly my local dev machine. We always suspect that our company installed antivirus/firewall makes it really hard to get this to work. It seems to block alot of stuff. But since that day, I can get the apps to work every time on my local dev machine, this is the setup we have: yaml file changes (works for me for direct pay, direct shipment and klarna): 1. Removed/commented out the DNS-entry completely 2. Changed LitiumApi\_\_ApiUrl to use [https://host.docker.internal:5001](https://host.docker.internal:5001) host-file in Windows: 1. Add entry for 127.0.0.1 host.docker.internal To reinstall/install the apps when i need to i follow this order: 1. Stop the apps in docker 2. Clear direct-payment/config folder 3. Clear direct-payment/DataProtection-key folder 4. Log into backoffice, force-remove the apps i want to reinstall/install if they are installed already 5. Start the apps in docker 6. Visit each app metadata url ([https://host.docker.internal](https://host.docker.internal):apport) which will rediret to [http://host.docker.internal:5001](http://host.docker.internal:5001) (the changed litiumapi\_apiurl) where i log into backoffice and install the apps and load the configs 7. Done. Now resume normal development/testning/whatever using the normal url to access Litium, [project.localtest.me:5001](http://project.localtest.me:5001) or whatever you’ve set up, and the apps work for me every time. Done it like 20 times or something now. ---

Amazing, thank you! One step that you didn’t mention was to remove the ```yaml dns: - 192.168.65.2 ``` from the app section. When I removed that, including the dnsresolver container, it worked! ---

I understood that as the whole “dnsresolver” container, but oh well! My bad 😃 ---

Hehe yeah, I listed the dns-removal under the “yaml file changes” section in my comment 🙂 Glad that it helped. ---
