Newpipe: The new v0.15.0 won't install

[TGWGitHub]

I tried several times to no avail, screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/fTzr0H8H/Screenshot-2019-01-19-18-10-20-1.png

My phone is Samsung A5 2015 (A500H) running Android 6.0.1

Make sure to remove the previous version and have plenty of internal storage space left. Depending on the Android skin you have to have at least 1GB of storage space left. I know Huawei EMUI is pretty picky about installing when there isn't enough of ""redudant"" storage available for caching etc. (no matter if play store install or some apk, even if the install is only a few MB in size)

Update:

Solved the issue by first uninstalling v0.14.2 and then installing the new v0.15.0

In-place updating doesn't work on my device running Android 6.0.1, though it updated fine on my other device running Android 8.1

@wisor12

You beat me to it haha, you're correct; I had to uninstall the older version then install the newer one, usually it updates fine without doing this...

Thanks buddy.

If you try to install the current version over the one on fdroid than this happens.

If you got the previous version from github as well, then i mixed up the signing keys :/

@theScrabi

That's exactly it! I installed the older version from F-Droid and updated to the newer of GitHub, wonder why I didn't think of that...

While on the other device the older version and newer one were both obtained from GitHub which now explains why it updated successfully.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thank god that the backup keys worked :disappointed_relieved:

What backup keys? lol

[theScrabi]

My notebook got stollen on Christmas. On its disks where all the signing keys saved. I have a backup of my keys in a keepass database, but one of my keepass apps f* up the database, and scattered the key files all over all entries. So I had to drive to my parrents place because one last backup of the signing key was saved on my moms computer. However I was not sure if that was the right one.

The whole thing of uninstalling first has nothing to do with FDroid. Android doesn't let you install older versions of apps over newer ones.

0.15.0 > 0.14.2 ? xD

@MR4Y I think you missed something. It's a signing key thing. F-Droid builds apps from source with their own signing key, making it (update-)incompatible with versions compiled by Devs using their keys. Results in error message, something like Parse Error, Package damaged or so.

I think it's time to close this issue.
