A few days ago Google has published a new version of the applications store for your platform Android, known as Google Play Store A version with small improvements but expected after its last design change. And it is that some of them had been eliminated with him. The problem lies in a bug found by some users when downloading or updating certain applications , preventing these processes from being carried out correctly and making their use impossible.
Updates and new Google Play Store versions are silent. Which means that its installation is automatic and without prior notice from the user. This means that it is impossible to avoid this error, receiving all the news, both good and bad, without being able to do anything about it. At the moment Google is aware of the problem, which they have listed as an error and are already investigating since the 7th of this month. However no solution has yet been given and no date by which the problem may be resolved.
This problem seems to be quite random. Thus, according to some web pages focused on Android, not all users would receive the message Package File Invalid (Invalid package file) when trying to download or update an applicationIn fact, it has not been possible to make a list of affected applications for this very reason. At the moment there are still no solutions, although the investigations and work of Google would already be in operation. All that remains is to follow the Google technical support web page that informs about the last hour of said problem.
With this, the latest version of the Google Play Store is marred by a small bug that would prevent the correct use of some applications. A new version that, despite not standing out especially for great news, does bring useful functions for the most concerned users. Functions that were present before its latest redesign and that some missed as the user experience worsened.
A good example is the possibility of knowing which applications have been installed from different user accounts or on different devicesAnother of its most striking functions is the possibility of knowing which have been the last updated applications, being able to see a list in the section My applications to avoid doubts to the user. In addition, when there are updates and notifications appear, they are all framed in one, preventing the notification bar from filling up with these messages.
Small changes in an update that was intended to go more or less unnoticed but, in the end, has attracted attention in the worst case. We will have to wait for a next update that corrects the problem detected by some users and about which little is still known. At least it's not some kind of security vulnerability, being just a small problem that hopefully will be corrected in no time. We will remain attentive to inform you.
