Some users are unable to install app from playstore. They get these errors:

  1. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER].
  2. 505 : Duplicate Provider Authority.

Also Tried to install the app on those phones through ADB as per this tutorial But it gave the following Error output with no description of the error. c:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb install D:\androidProjects\29febsecondhalf\app\app-release.apk 6568 KB/s (16204430 bytes in 2.409s) pkg: /data/local/tmp/app-release.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER]

These phones had already installed the previous version of the app earlier. But the new version gives this error. The previous version of app is not present in these phones now . (Also checked it through adb using adb uninstall Package_Name)

Change your provider android:authorities it may be possible that same provider already defined (Duplicated).

To avoid conflicts, authority names should use a Java-style naming convention (such as com.example.provider.abcprovider). Typically, it's the name of the ContentProvider subclass that implements the provider
