Is this the first time you are installing this app to your smartphone? If yes, make sure you have assigned an app bundle ID in the app’s settings in Thunkable. If it is an update to an existing app, make sure you have incremented the version code in the app settings in Thunkable. Also feel free to share woth us a screenshot of the issue.

Correct. As stated before, your were most probably trying to update an existing installation with an app carrying the same version code. If you had incremented the version code and version name in your new version, it would have updated fine on your device.
