Unable to test app because "conflicting package"
On our testing device (quest 3), we pulled the current live build of our app from the store to verify behavior, and the store-installed version is crashing on launch with no visible error. I don't know if this is an issue with just my device.
To isolate it, we downloaded the same live APK (previously tested and confirmed working) and attempted a direct install. That fails with:
"App not installed as package conflicts with existing package"
At this point, the only explanation on our side is that something isn’t being fully removed from the device after uninstall?
Steps already taken:
- Uninstalled the existing app
- Cleared unknown sources / external install permissions
The conflict persists, and the store version continues to crash despite being stable prior to upload.
Question:
Does Quest retain any residual package state, signatures, or cached data that could cause conflicts between a store-installed build and a sideloaded APK of the same package?
