Has anyone run successfully an android app with an obb file?

(I am not 100% sure if I am answering your question)

I am running the OsmAnd map app on my Sailfish device. The downloaded offline maps (*.obf) are stored in /home/defaultuser/android_storage/Android/obb/net.osmand/.

On the other hand, my phone has no *.obb files.

Looking for insights! Has anyone successfully run an Android app with an OBB file? Any tips or experiences to share?

Here is a discussion about this in waydroid Most games don't work · Issue #702 · waydroid/waydroid · GitHub maybe trying this on android support works too, or directly with waydroid. They write something about permission issues to obb path they fix with chmod 755
