Unable to update app manually (by apk) -> Error -1001?

[-Skyrider-]

So I'm attempting to update an app manually by APK (installed through google play) as the dev shared a fixed apk with me. But I'm unable to install it due to this:



Is there any reason why it won't let me update? Running on HyperOS weekly 1.0.24.7.28.dev (Poco F5 Pro)

Help is appreciated!

Use ADB logcat to get a verbose explanation of the underlying issue:

adb logcat -s PackageInstallerSession

@Igor Eisberg I get the same error. I used your adb command and got this:

Doesn't look like a normal APK, it must be a split APK.
Play Store has version 17.2.6, so not sure why you're trying to manually update it to 17.2.1, but that won't work.

@Igor Eisberg It's not a split APK and not an APK for updating the Play Store. It's an APK for Google Authenticator 7.0.

Well I got the APK from here and installed it successfully.

@Igor Eisberg I used the same source and tried apkpure aswell. Strange.

@Igor Eisberg Just to add this information: It seems like to first install an app with an APK is not the problem, only updating. At least on my side (houji 24.7.28).

Xiaomi 14.
I have already switched from Weekly version to Stable without data loss. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/24-7-28-final.73710/post-732070

I tried installing "Google authenticator_6.0.APK" and then updating to authenticator_7.0.
No problem occurred.

I tried and switched to stable ROM aswell, but the problem persists. The installation failure only occurs, if the app were installed via Play Store and I want to update this app via APK.

Yes, I have observed this phenomenon on other custom ROMs as well.
You need to uninstall the app that was installed from GPlay.
