I got this error "Installation failed due to: 'INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER"

When I updated library to v3.0.0 I got this error “Installation failed due to: 'INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER”

this error only show when I have two apps use the same lib in my device.

this is my provider:

<provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.com.vansuita.pickimage.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true"
            tools:replace="android:authorities">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/picker_provider_paths" />
        </provider>

Thanks

The error is telling that you provider declared name is “com.vasuita.pickimage.provider” when it really should be “${YourApplicationIdHere}.com.vansuita.pickimage.provider”. Can you redeclare the provider name on you manifest and try again? I recreate your situation, installer 2 apps that your this same lib and both works just fine.

 <provider
            android:name="com.vansuita.pickimage.provider.PickImageFileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.com.vansuita.pickimage.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true"
            tools:replace="android:authorities">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/picker_provider_paths" />
        </provider>
