Question

I have searched through the forum, but found no match for the issue I am currently facing:

I have an app, which installs and works ok, but when I try to update it (install again), the application does not update, but is installed separately one more time – I get two shortcuts, different app data, both versions work, etc.

I have not changed the application name, have observed the same behavior in adb and with actual phone and tablet, also tried with same and increased app version…

This is my manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
package="com.rts.android.language" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.1"
android:installLocation="auto">
        <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
        <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
            <activity android:name="com.rts.android.language.ui.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                </intent-filter> 
            </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Any ideas what the reason might be?
Thanks!

Answer 1

please, make sure both applications contain same package name?

package="com.rts.android.language"
