1. Vega OS cannot run Android APKs. It needs a separate Vega application (Amazon Vega SDK) distributed through the Amazon Appstore; it has not been built yet.

Do not install the Android APK on Vega OS devices — it will not run.

1. Customers: install OnSiteTV from the Samsung Smart TV Apps store once it is listed there.
2. Testers: enable Developer Mode on the TV (Apps → enter 12345 → Developer mode On, host PC IP), then install the .wgt with the Tizen CLI (`tizen install -n OnSiteTV.wgt -t <tv>`). The package must be signed with a Samsung certificate that includes this TV.

The Android APK does not install on Samsung TVs. Downloading a .wgt file on a TV does not install it.
