I try to install an update new apk to existing app. It show " Package conflicts" But if I removed existing app and install will be OK. It was working earlier without problems. Anyone have this problems?

Thanks.

Yes… The same thing is Happening to me  
Whenever I download a new Updated APK, an error message is shown “Package Conflicting with existing one” (in Android)

Bugs…  
Nothing to do with thunkable. It’s a windows feature android doesn’t have.

Hello  
To solve this issue you could try the following things:

1. Increase the version of the Thunkable project.
2. Delete the existing APK and App from your device (any app that have the same [App/Bundle ID](https://docs.thunkable.com/project-settings))
