Installation issues due to URLs blocked by your proxy server

Sometimes, school networks have proxy servers that interfere with Google's app installation process. If this is affecting you, your app installations may be blocked or appear to freeze. This can be due to the proxy server blocking access to specific Google URLs.

If Google Play appears to be working but you are experiencing problems with the app download, try adding the following URLs to your proxy whitelist:

Note these are not specific to Makers Empire 3D - many app installations from the Play Store would require access to these URLs.
​

You might need support from your organization's IT administrator to whitelist these URLs.
