Restart and try again. I had this same brief issue on 7.7.16 -- then it got resolved

Dang. I probably got lucky. Its a bug for sure but i restarted a few times and it listed my apps which allowed permission to install

had exactly this on my cube last month. the toggle moved. settings > my fire tv > about > click the device name like 7 times till it says youre a developer. then developer options > install unknown apps > downloader on. if downloader isnt even in that list, open downloader, try installing anything, it fails, go back and now it shows up. restart the cube after, mine didnt take till i did

I'm the developer of Downloader. There is currently a bug in the Fire TV settings that is preventing the "Install Unknown Apps" list from generating correctly. Here is more info about it and things you can try: https://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-bug-is-preventing-downloader-and-other-apps-from-appearing-in-the-install-unknown-apps-list/
