What error message do you see?
Find your exact error message for the targeted fix:
| Error message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "App not installed" | Generic — multiple possible causes | Check storage first, then signatures |
| "App not installed" (existing app) | Signature mismatch with installed version | Uninstall old version first, then install |
| "There was a problem parsing the package" | Corrupted APK or incompatible Android version | Re-download APK; check Android version |
| "Install blocked" / "Blocked by Play Protect" | Unknown sources not enabled or Play Protect block | Enable unknown sources; tap "Install anyway" |
| "Insufficient storage" | Not enough free space | Free 2× APK size (need extraction space) |
| "Package appears to be invalid" | APK corrupted or wrong architecture | Re-download; check ARM64 vs ARM32 |
How do I fix "App not installed" (signature mismatch)?
This happens when you try to update an app but the new APK is signed with a different key than the installed version. Android blocks this to prevent tampering.
Why it happens:
- Downloaded from different source than original install
- Old version was a modified/repackaged APK
- Publisher changed signing key (rare)
Fix:
- Go to Settings → Apps → find the existing app
- Tap Uninstall (you'll lose app data)
- Download fresh APK from official source
- Install the new APK
Important: If the old app had bet history or settings, they'll be lost. Account data is stored on the server, so you won't lose your account — just log in again.
How do I fix "parsing the package" error?
"There was a problem parsing the package" means Android can't read the APK file. Causes:
| Cause | How to check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Incomplete download | File size much smaller than expected | Delete file, re-download on stable Wi-Fi |
| APK corrupted | Checksum doesn't match | Re-download from official source |
| Android version too old | APK requires newer Android | Check minimum Android version; update OS if possible |
| Wrong CPU architecture | APK is arm64, device is arm32 | Download universal or correct architecture APK |
How much storage do I actually need?
Android needs more space than the APK file size because it extracts and processes the package during installation:
| APK size | Minimum free space needed | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| 70 MB | ~150 MB | 300 MB |
How to free space quickly:
- Settings → Storage → tap large categories
- Delete unused apps (Settings → Apps → sort by size)
- Clear cache (Settings → Storage → Cached data)
- Move photos/videos to cloud or computer
What about iOS installation failures?
iOS has different error messages:
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Unable to Install" | Certificate expired or revoked | Wait for new certificate, check official site |
| "Untrusted Enterprise Developer" | Certificate not trusted | Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → Trust |
| "Cannot Verify App" | No internet during verification | Connect to internet, try again |
| App icon grayed out | Download incomplete | Tap to resume or delete and re-download |
Quick reference: installation troubleshooting
Try these in order:
| # | Check | Action if fail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Free storage > 200 MB? | Delete unused apps/files |

| 3 | Same app already installed? | Uninstall old version first |
| 4 | File size matches official? | Delete and re-download |
| 5 | Android version meets minimum? | Update Android or use older app version |
| 6 | None of above worked? | Restart device and try from step 1 |
