Others Why am I getting "App not installed" error on latest build of Android APK, with signed release?

[hhrichards]

I'm creating an Android app using Monaca (Monaca is just an online service where you can build the app instead of using my computer).

It's always worked fine. I'm onto my 10th version of this app, and I've done the same I always do, increase the versioncode number as I know it will only work if the number is greater.

But when downloading & installing this app over the existing app (which always works), I get the vague message "app not installed".

Any idea why I'm having this error message & not being able to install?

Here's some detail from the AndroidManifest.xml file in each apk file

The versionCode of the last 3 are:
8) 1.8.0
9) 1.9.2
10) 1.10.0

The versionCode from the last 3 are:
8) 10013
9) 10902
10) 11001

If I uninstall the app, I'm able to install v10 fine. But I'm not able to install it if v8 or v9 are installed. Normally if I have this problem it's because the versionCode is lower, & if I increment it, it works ok.

I'm signing the app with the same key.

Hey so I just try to install and play the games, and I'm new to APK fap games lol, but I've had a few games that get iffy when trying to install. I've done alot of searching and couldn't find any resolution, all i could consider in the end is that the latest version of my android phone doesn't support the game to run it or vice versa. I couldn't explain any technical side of things but maybe there's an error somewhere in the file. It's happened on several games, usually around the larger side around 1gb.

Did you manage to get a fix on this? I'm still looking for a fix for a few games I've found and want to play

I've published several versions of my game since, and not had this problem again, which makes me think the problem was it was me being stupid and doing something wrong at the time!
Other apps where you've encountered this problem might be the same, it's not been properly tested by the developer.
