First, I have already uninstalled this app from my Huawei tablet device.
Now, I want to reinstall the APK with same package name using adb command line from my Mac.
./adb install ~/myapp.apk
I got this error:
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install myapp.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.example.myapp signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]
From browsing around, I learn that perhaps the app did not uninstalled correctly. So I use adb shell.
$./adb shell
Device:/$ pm uninstall com.example.myapp
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Device:/$ pm uninstall --user 0 com.example.myapp
Failure [not installed for 0]
Device:/$ pm list package | grep myapp
(empty result)
Device:/$ pm list package | grep google
package:com.google.android.inputmethod.latin // which means list package & grep working fine
Device:/$ pm list package -u | grep myapp
package:com.example.myapp // which means pm already acknowledge myapp is uninstalled
So at this moment, I'm at loss. Even adb shell cannot see the app package. But still, when I try to install the APK, I get the error above. How can I resolve this?
adb install -r ~/myapp.apkshould work as it deleted still existent data and replaces the app with the new version (no update). – Wilburwilburnpm list package -dif it is still contained. BTW: If I am not mistaken, if a package is listed in the-ulist it means the app is uninstalled but there is still app data present. An app that is really uninstalled is no longer visible in anypm packagelist. – Wilburwilburnobbfolder. I can't seem to remove thatcom.example.myappfolder inside theobbfolder. – Elsieelsinore
