I have developed an android application and installed apk in Blackberry and android devices.
The first time installation works fine.
When i try to update for next release i changed 'android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0.0"' to 'android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0.1"' in android manifest file.
Its working fine in android devices, but in blackberry the update is not working getting "Installed application is lastest".
Note: The application is not released from playstore.
Increment the version code also. I'm actually surprised that it worked in Android. Google Play Store won't let you upload an updated app unless the version code is "greater".

Noticed this very strange behavior with my android application
Installed app from play store with version name 3.1 App is working
fine.
Due to new correction,I've installed App via USB connection or by
sharing apk files with same version name.
App is working fine with newly added features but
After certain time/days i found that the newly added feature is
gone and I'm using the play store version...
Additional info:
The same issue occurred in android version 11,12,9 followed by the above process.
However, I have no idea why would it is happening and how to prevent this behavior.
visited this below link for the similar issue and found nothing related to my issue.
Why does Android app rolls back to a previous version after device shutdown?
My guessing is your play store has a function that called update automatically which is opend,your apk on Phone is version behind the play store version
Found the solution for this Silly Issue.
from last one month i observed that my release apk which is not in production but has the same version name was auto updated to production version i it is for all the apk user.
I tried to disable the of google play store setting of auto update and after few day is not replaced by the production version.

I have an application that I have deployed to play store which I set compatibility to android v 4.1 and up.
But I just realize that it not shown on android N play store search application (I still don't check on android O version)
is some permission / compatibility change on android nougat? Because it still shown on android M play store. I have tried to search on play store web and it is still there.
Thanks.
NB: I build this application using ionic v1 framework
i have found the solution by contact the Google using Live Chat on developer console.
it appears that i need to compiled and build again using android sdk version 25 that support android Nougat 7.1.1 because
this problem arise for android Nougat version 7.1.0+ and not for version below it
I was installed old version(version 1) of my application from google play store in my phones. Now I would like to update this app to new version(version 2), so, I generated new apk file by using android studio and I upload this generated apk to google drive. Then download and install from my several devices(Android 5.1.1, and Android 4.2.2).
In android 4.2.2, I can install the downloaded apk and my application was upgraded to version 2 successfully.
In Android 5.1.1, I can click on install button, after that show the "App not installed" error message and the application was not upgraded to new version(version 2).
Could you please give me some advice?
Please see the attachment picture of android 5.1.1 device.
I think it is bug. It happened to me once while upgrading to a new version. The problem occurs when there are 2 users in Android OS(i.e. Settings>Users. Probably in your case, guest user must be present). So when app was previously installed, it must be installed for both primary and guest user. So when Android OS tries to uninstall the app to upgrade, it only uninstalls app for primary user and not for guest user. So the app is still present in the OS but not for primary user preventing installation of the new app. At least this is what I think it is.(I am using a Moto G)
But I have never encountered this bug when upgrading from playstore. It only happened when trying to upgrade app by installing apk from external source. I hope it helps...
When you upgrade your application and build for release, make sure that you sign your application with the same keystore you used to sign your previous application version.
When you use new keystore to sign your new application version and attempts to install it into the device with your application(old version) already installed, android will halt the installation and you can tell exactly why it does not install by looking at the logcat.
I want to ask a little issue which I found out why testing my application. When I update my application from Android Market after I upload new apk, everything is working fine without any errors. But when I try to install older apk manually, not from market and after that install newer version of it again not from market, there are some errors which I don't get if I update my app from market.
Any ideas if it's normal, because as I know Android market app takes care of installing the updates and etc.
it's normal if in your phone have a debug version ,
you must unistall old version on your phone, so after you can install the apk ( market version) manually .
for market update , you can update it only if your app is gratis.
I've found today that my recently published app on the Android Market,
is not showing up on this device Market: Samsung Apollo.
I've already followed this tutorial to make my app accesible to almost all devices configurations
and it still don't show on that device's Market.
What am I doing wrong?
Did you use the copy protection functionality when uploading the apk?
That can be the issue.
What version of Android did you build against? Does that phone run a compatible version?
