I followed the guide to run the sample app on a Pixel 9 Pro XL device with Android AICore (beta) and the required Private Compute Service.
https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano/experimental

But getting below error

E Failed to check model availability.
com.google.ai.edge.aicore.DownloadException: AICore failed with error type 1-DOWNLOAD_ERROR and error code 0-UNKNOWN: Feature is unavailable.

Private Compute Service version: 1.0.release.696479765

Is there any thing else that needs to be done?

Hi @Ryosuke Apologies for late response .
Please let me know if you have tried to

  1. Verify the Google account on the device is correctly enrolled in the Android AICore (beta) program.
  2. In Developer Options, ensure “Enable on-device GenAI Features” is turned on.
    It might be an issue

It’s been a while, so could you please let me know if the issue is still present?
