Hey all, I was given a fire stick that had kodi preinstalled on it a couple of months ago, so I don't know much about the process. I went to go open Kodi a few days ago and noticed the app was no longer appearing. When I went into the settings, I noticed that there was an update to install for Kodi. I tried to go through the update process but at the end of the installation I get an error that says 'Application could not be Installed'. Not sure what the next step is here, without any experience on the subject, but am more than willing to learn. I can of course provide any additional information needed. Thanks!

In my emulator, when I try to do an upgrade of my apk programmatically. I get:
Android App Not Install.
An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed
- It literally explains, in detail, why you may or may not get a no steam available message. It’s not defensive at all. Just taking a guess there has probably been 1.1 billion emails to support such as “Y U NO HAZ STREAM KODI GARBAGE BROKEN TRASH FIX NOW I KILL YOU”.
- Android system is great when it comes to using Apps and enjoy seamless smartphone experience. Many times you may get annoying messages while you install Apps on your device, especially apps from ‘unknown sources’. One such message is ‘App Not Installed’ or ‘Application not Installed’.
- Same here everyone. I had kodi 18.3 because everything crashed and went back to the kodi screen- blank and no build on there, helping a friend with her firestick and had to download kodi 18.1 and i am trying to install no limits build latest version. Same issues for me as well i deleted the 27 db file and now the limits build notification popped up. Keep yall posted.
I'm still in the testing phase of this upgrade, so the file I download is a signed apk of a previous version, which I think should work without any issues.
Once the app is installed, you will again see it in the Apps & Games section and probably on the home screen among the recently installed apps. How to Sideload Apps on Fire TV / Stick Using Downloader App. Now that you have installed the app, I will show you can sideload apps on your Fire TV or FireStick within minutes. One such message is ‘App Not Installed’ or ‘Application not Installed’. And it is a common issue faced by Android KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow etc. When you try to install any App which is incompatible with your device OS and software the App may not get installed successfully. OK, I have KODI on two devices Mi-3 box streamer and my Windows 10-PCKODI was installed on both devices with Apps not the program itself like awhile backMi-3 installed with Google Play and Windows Store on the PC.since upgrading to 18.1 recently for both devices BOTH are randomly crashing without any type of warning, (example: you.
From the suggestion in: an existing package by the same name with a confilcting signature is already installed I tried to run the emulator both in debug mode and in normal mode... neither worked.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

The problem is the keys that have been used to sign the APKs, by default if you are running directly from your IDE and opening your Emulator, the APK installed in the Emulator is signed with your debug-key(usually installed in ~/.android/debug.keystore), so if the previous APK was signed with a different key other than the one you are currently using you will always get the signatures conflict, in order to fix it, make sure you are using the very same key to sign both APKs, even if the previous APK was signed with a debug-key from another SDK, the keys will definitely be different.
Also if you don't know exactly what key was used before to sign the apk and yet you want to install the new version of your app, you can just uninstall the previous application and reinstall the new one.
Hope this Helps...
Regards!

I had the same error message, but these answers did not help. On a 4.3 nexus 7, I was using a user who was NOT the owner. I had uninstalled the older version but I kept getting the same message.
Solution: I had to login as the owner and go to Settings -> Apps, then swipe to the All tab. Scroll down to the very end of the list where the old versions are listed with a mark 'not installed'. Select it and press the 'settings' button in the top right corner and finally 'uninstall for all users'

Go to Settings > Apps, find and open the app info. Then, open the overflow menu (3 vertical dots), and choose Uninstall for all users.

There is a difference between signed and unsigned APK files. Most likely you had an unsigned on there previously. You just need to delete the unsigned before you install the signed version. How this can be accomplished varies on the exact version, but in general, go on the emulator to settings-> application, long click your app, and delete/remove/uninstall it.

If you are using the debug apk, the key that is used to sign it is in
If you use that same key, there should not be a conflict when installing.

If you don't want to bother with the keystore file, then just remove the package altogether for all users.
Connect your device with Mac/PC and run
adb uninstall <package>
Worked for me.

If above solutions did not work for you then you may have doing something as following ..
1) installing the app from Appstore.
2) updating it with sign APK with same package name updated version.
2) updating it with sign APK with same package name updated version.
So basically there are two kinds if APK's.
1) you uploaded on playstore known as original APK.
2) download from playstore known as derived APK.
2) download from playstore known as derived APK.
In this case basically you are downloading derived apk and updating it with original APK.
For let it work fine uploaded new signed released APK in the internal test mode on the Google Play Store and download the derived APK to check the update scenario.

If you use multiple users at android, verify that the app is uninstalled everywhere.

I had an issue where both debug and release build won't install on devices I used for debugging. The same msg would appear when trying to install the new version. The only workaround was to uninstall the current version and install the new one.
It looks like Android studio marks the apk it installs so that installation using the package managers would distinguish between version installed for debugging and versions downloaded from Google play or other external sources (this never happened to me when using eclipse).

Same package error:
- Create a new Package in your app with different name.
- Copy and paste all file in your old package to new Package.
- Save Code.
- Delete old Package And Clean and rebuild project.

Kodi Says App Not Installed
It may be application is not uninstall successful. If your device is this case, you can try this method.
First get the package name of the application, e.g 'com.xxx.app', you can use Root Explorer and find it from Manifest file(RE can decode the file). then you can use this script to uninstall it:

There may be another reason when your application will not update when you either change/add/remove shareId in AndroidManifiest.
'android:sharedUserId'
Please check that also.
To prevent would recommend to use sharedUserId in your application despite in your current requirement you need or now.

I tried all the above and it did not work.
I found that in spite of uninstalling the app a new version of the app still gives the same error.
Kodi App Not Installed Message On Iphone
This is what solved it:go to Settings -> General -> application Manager -> choose your app -> click on the three dots on the top -> uninstall for all users
Once you do this, now it is actually uninstalled and will now allow your new version to install.
Hope this helps.
