Can't update apps on FP3 with EOS because of verification error

If have two fairphones. On both it suddenly says it can’t verify an app update hence is does not install it. This is for instance the case with an app called “wifi automatic”.
I am running EOS android 10 with the 6 april system update running.
Safe mode does not reveal anything.
Had the app cache and storage cleared.

Thank you very much for your help.
Have a good day!

On one device, try to completely uninstall the app, then install it again.
Hopefully will the app provide a way to backup/restore settings …

It happened to me in the past, when a major version update of an app was released.

Thank you very much smu44. I have only wifi automatic installed. I am testing the mobile phone before I switch to the FP.

It also can happen with an app with 2 versions : a “normal” Google one, and a FOS one.
You can get the installer name in app advanced properties.

Yes you are right. The wifi automatic has been installed through Aurora store. Now APPS keeps prompting me for the update. Is there a way to keep APPS from trying to update a certain app?
I learned today EOS APPS is not save and has old apps. Aurora and F-Droid are the preffered app installers. Do you agree with that?

I only use Aurora & F-Droid for now
But the new App Lounge may change that in a near future!
