installing Tango Core on Project Tango development kit

Question

I have an older development kit, and I've been trying to update to newer bits. I used to have the "Project Tango Core" app installed, but removed it in hopes of installing "Tango Core". However, when I attempt to install Tango Core, it won't install the app, failing with a "Duplicate Provider Authority". Same error if I try to install the apk using adb: INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER

How can I get rid of the old tango so I can get the new one?

Answer 1

it would have been better to let the play store handle the update from project tango to tango. this is , i think, a play store error message. what i would try, is to try to find a project tango core .apk at one of the .apk sites , https://apkpure.com/legacy-tango-core/com.projecttango.tango . or another site you may use see if you can install that then let the store update to the newer core.
