We have recently converted our app to using a mounted obb file.  In the past 
the obb was just a zip file and we unzipped it for use.  Since the obb is large 
(300 MB to 1.2 GB depending on app version) we decided to create it using using 
JOBB and mount it.  This is working very well on most platforms, but there are 
a few where the obb can't be mounted.  I have seen many reports of this problem 
with an encrypted obb, but ours is not.

The obb was created on a Mac using the command:

   jobb -d LiteOBB -o main.400.com.simulationcurriculum.skysafari4.obb -pn 
com.simulationcurriculum.skysafari4 -pv 400

  This obb is then uploaded to Google Play to be downloaded by the customer as 
part of the APK Expansion mechanism

One the majority of platforms this has worked well for us.  The obb can be 
successfully mounted and accessed.  However, on a few, we always get the error 
ERROR_COULD_NOT_MOUNT coming back from the OnObbStateChangeListener.

Platforms with the problem are:

Droid Maxx running Android 4.4.x (works fine on 4.1)
Asus Memo 7 running Android 4.2

Some other devices running custom KitKat ROMs


With the custom ROMs, the error the user sees is generally "Unfortunately, 
Package Acces helper has stopped".  I'm not 100% sure it is the same problem, 
but it is an issue mounting the obb

I've been pulling my hair out over this.  Customers are yelling at us.  Why 
can't the obbs be mounted on the above platforms?
