[Q] Android Market Application download issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to update an application from android market. Every time I try to update.. Android Market app downloads the apk and then say something like "Application can't be installed because of some application signing issue".
My question is

Can I copy the apk before i get the error message?

You probably have a version on your phone that you didn't download from the Market. To solve that you need to uninstall that version that you have on your phone and the install the one from the Market.

Updating Non Market Apps

Downloaded an apk pack from the interweb and installed a few apps.
Loaded it up via pc and then clicked on file and it installed. When I go into the market its saying I don't have this app installed? I also installed a game and under settings this appears but not the app?
Is there a way of updating this app as cannot update it via market ? Tried the non paid version of Titanium back up but no use. From searching read Trackdog app. maybe able to do this. Anyone confirm
Is there a way or is the market such it wont let it update?
I was gonna ask same question
I don't think there's any solution for what you are asking. But you can try this: install AppBrain App Market from the market. This app will show all your installed apps, no matter if you installed them straight from the market or other sources. There's an option to sync the apps with AppBrain and if a newer version of your installed apps comes out on the market it will prompt you to update. Obviously, you won't be able to update the apps straight from the market (if they were installed from other sources), but at least you will know there's a new version of the app in the market and then you can try to get the new version from alternate sources. I use this app for Google Plus and some other apps from the market which are not available for my country. This isn't a solution, merely an intermediate step to find out if your apps need to be updated I think Trackdog does exactly the same thing as AppBrain.

App Update

Installed APKs from where? What apps? If from somewhere other than Google Play Store, what makes you think updating would work?

Sometimes you just have to wait a day or two, then try the update again. It's to do with the market being too slow for the vendor's app data.
If you have been installing **free Apps** from certain disreputable websites, without paying for them, then you will not be able to update them through the Play Store (Market).

[Q] force install apk without certificates?

I get this error: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES] when trying to install MIUIMusic2.3.9.apk [taken from here]. I don't care about the certificates, is there a way to force the installation?
Rezound, CM9 4.0.3
No
You cant force install, but you can always sign the apk. Use APK Manager to sign it. If you dont know how to do it, google "apk manager sign apk" to learn how

Ok I'll look it up on my pc later.
So, if I sign the apk this way, if a previous version of the app (with the same app id) is installed and I try to update by installing the newly signed apk, I will get an error?
If so, is all I need to do, just remove the old version first?
Thanks
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
edit: got it signed and installed!

Try AppSaver to just extract apk, available on Google Play.

I suppose your apk itself got corrupted somehow.
May be you can search on the net for that version of apk and download it from some of the websites that allows you to download apk directly rather than from Google Play.

Can't install apks

When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

the app you trying to install, unmodified one, go apkmirror.com and search for it, it should list different version, some apps has arm and arm64 version, download it to your phone, and install it.
your s9/s9+ are arm64

Emm nobody?
Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.
