You need to uninstall it because you are using a different signature than the original. If it is not working it might be because it is still installed for another user on the device. To completely uninstall, go to Settings -> Apps -> (specific app)-> Options (the three dots on top right) -> Uninstall for all users.

I am also got this issue that time already installed ionic app(same package name) remove from my phone after that working perfectly.

Today  I faced the same problem on my Samsung device  In my particular case  the app was NOT showing on the phone but it was INSTALLED  so I could not uninstall remove it  Thus I had to uninstall the app using the terminal    adb uninstall  quot com domain yourapp quot  My project tree looks like this  partial view    -- com      -- gluonapplication          -- DrawerManager java          -- StartApplication java          -- views              -- PrimaryPresenter java              -- PrimaryView java              -- SecondaryPresenter java              -- SecondaryView java  So for me  the command was    adb uninstall com gluonapplication Once done  I installed the app via terminal    cd  path to apk    adb install -t myAwesomeApp apk    -t means test install  That is what worked for me  I hope this answer is helpfull

If the version of the app that you have installed was not built with the same keystore signing certificate it will have a different signature  By default each build machine will have a different debug certificate unless you specify how it should be signed according to the google documentation  which can be used to ensure that your app will be build with the same debug key regardless of which computer you build the application on   In order to proceed with the installation you must uninstall the existing version and then try again

This occurs due to the availability of the previous version of the Application  that is not installed on the device but its data is present in the device memory  So it fails to upgrade this uninstalled application data on the device  Try this    Go to Device Settings     Apps All Apps      search your App OR search for  client      In App info screen   press the triple dots option on top right corner     select  Uninstall for All Users      a promt appears select  OK   It works for me every time this error occurs

This happens mostly when the phone has the app s version from Google Play Store installed  You can either built the code with the same keystore certificate you used for your production version  or just uninstall it from the phone and build it with your debug keystore certificate
