What is the latest version?
v6.4.2 as of 22-Jul-2026. The desk updates the version banner within 30 minutes of an operator release.
The FanCode APK is published by Fantasy Sports India Pvt Ltd. We link directly to the operator's signed build. The APK is the same build distributed on the Google Play Store, packaged for out-of-store distribution. Always verify the certificate hash before install.

Install steps (Android 7+)
- Open the APK link Tap the download link above. The browser warns about an APK — confirm.
- Allow install from this source Set "Allow from this source" for the browser in Settings → Apps → Special access.
- Install Tap Install. The build installs over a previous FanCode install (if present).
- Verify Open the app's info screen; the publisher must be "Fantasy Sports India Pvt Ltd". If not, uninstall and re-download.
Verifying the certificate hash
The certificate hash is published with every build. To verify locally:
$ sha256sum /path/to/fancode.apk $ certtool --hash sha256 /path/to/fancode.apk
Compare the output against the published hash. A mismatch means the build has been tampered with; do not install — report the issue via the operator's published channel.
What this desk will never host
- Mirrors No third-party hosts. The APK comes from the operator's CDN only.
- Modded builds No patched or "unlocked" versions.
- Auto-update APKs We host the latest build; auto-update on the app side handles incremental updates.
Older builds
v6.4.1 and v6.4.0 are retained for users with compatibility issues, but the recommended install is v6.4.2. Older builds do not receive contest-register updates.
Support and troubleshooting
For install issues that are not addressed above, use the in-app support tab inside an installed build. For APK hash mismatches, write to compliance [at] fancodein.com with the build version and the SHA-256 you computed locally.
Reader questions — APK
Do I need a special Android version?
Android 7.0+ is supported. The recommended OS is Android 12+ for the smoothest live-score experience.
Why does the install fail?
If you have a previous FanCode install, uninstall first. If the SHA-256 doesn't match the published hash, the build is tampered — do not install.
Will the APK auto-update?
Yes. The app updates itself incrementally; the desk hosts the canonical latest APK reference.
The release cycle — what changes per version
The FanCode release cycle is roughly fortnightly. Each release ships (1) contest-register fixes, (2) live-score pipeline improvements, (3) wallet / KYC bug-fixes, (4) UI polish based on reader feedback. The release notes are published on the operator's app store page and on the official FanCode socials.
Why older builds lose access
Older builds typically lose access to the contest register within 4-6 weeks because (1) the operator's server-side APIs change and break old clients, (2) the build's certificate may not match the latest signing chain. Pinning to the latest APK is therefore a normal hygiene step, not a forced upgrade.
Reading the auto-update cycle — what changes per release
The release cycle is roughly fortnightly. Auto-update on the app side handles incremental updates; if auto-update is disabled (some enterprise devices), the user needs to install the new APK manually. The desk recommends enabling auto-update to keep the contest register sync'd and to receive live-score pipeline improvements.
Auto-update retains the user's wallet and squad — there is no reset on update. Old data carries forward. The squad builder is local to the user's account, so updates to the squad builder do not require a squad re-build.
A reading note — keeping the APK current
The APK release cycle is roughly fortnightly. Auto-update on the app side handles incremental updates. Where auto-update is disabled (some enterprise devices, some privacy-focused Android distributions), the user needs to install the new APK manually. The desk recommends enabling auto-update to keep the contest register sync'd and to receive live-score pipeline improvements.
Auto-update retains the user's wallet and squad — there is no reset on update. Old data carries forward. The squad builder is local to the user's account, so updates to the squad builder do not require a squad re-build.
Where the APK publisher changes (e.g. a corporate reorganisation), the certificate hash changes too. The desk updates the published hash on this lane within 24 hours of a verifiable change. Older builds remain valid until the operator's server-side APIs deprecate them.
For users on the direct APK path with strict device security, verify the certificate hash after every download. The recipe is on this lane; the SHA-256 check is fast and confirms the build matches the operator's official signing key.
If the certificate hash doesn't match, do not install. Report the mismatch to compliance [at] fancodein.com with the build version and the SHA-256 you computed locally. The desk forwards the report to the operator's security team.
