Reasons of There is a Problem Parsing the Package Error

You may get this Error Due to following Reasons:There is a Problem Parsing the Package

  1. The Downloaded .apk file is Currupted or not fully downloaded
  2. You might have turned off “Allow installation of apps from Unknown Sources”
  3. If the App is not Compatible with the Hardware or the Version of OS you are using.

 

How to Fix There is a Problem Parsing the Package Error

So Now that we know why There is a Problem Parsing the Package error occurs, we can now easily find a fix to this Problem.

1. Allowing Installation from Unknown Sources:

We tend to download .APK files from Google Play store but sometimes We even download it from unknown sources and hence android don’t Allow us to install the app.

  • Go to your Device Setting Menu
  • Scroll down and Click on Applications
  • Now Check the Box of Unknown Sources to allow installation of non Market Applications

After Completing the Above Simple steps you may now try and install the app which was showing error.

2.Inspect Your APK File:

If the Above Fix do not work to fix the error then you may now try to inspect the apk file that you downloaded. Check it the file is Fully downloaded and is not Corrupted.

If you have downloaded the apk file from any other place rather then Google play store then Make sure you download it from Google play store this time. Try to install it Now.

3.App is not Compatible with your Device or OS:

If you are still not able to Get rid of There is a Problem Parsing the Package Error then it clearly indicates that the file that you have downloaded is not Compatible with your Device hardware or Operating System.Try to Install it on another Android Device which has better hardware and Higher Version of Android Installed in it.

      What is your location? If it is from where the game is still not launched, you might get that error.

      Also make sure you are downloading the apk file from trusted sources and the apk file is up to date.

    I’m running a quad core 16gb ainovo Numy 3g sword with a 32gb micro SD card on Android 4.2.2, I always come up against package parsing problems when trying to install external to Google play downloaded apk’s. I have problems downloading updates from Google play, whatsapp latest being my recent headache. I always check the unknown source box when setting up a new device but this doesn’t help. I have found in the past that a copy paste from pm downloaded apps to my phone through a data connection helps, but it’s a lot of faffing about to do so. I shouldn’t have to do so with my mobile device being fairly recent (less than 18months old).

    Perhaps an update to Android 5.0 will help clear this problem, as I’ve read it allows more finer control over your device’s storage methods?

    2ndary problem….. Why the hell is my phone filling up so fast when I have the SD card storage option checked for my downloads. I have a 32gb external SD card and it’s not utilising it as I want it to.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated… Thanks!

    My Note 3 tries to update Samsung Apps store, it downloads the necessary file by itself but when it comes to installation, parse message appears. I have allowed unknown sources. And if it wasn’t compatible then why would it try to update? Please help.

    Did not work on my Samsung Galaxy S 1 (old but useful)
    Every app I got from my PC didn’t work. If I get an app from the Browser “Error parsing package”…

      Do you mean you, you download .apk files on your PC and then Paste those on your Samsung galaxy to install in it ?

    I am running the latest stable carbon rom on my sprint galaxy s3. All of my .apks stored on my sdcard are giving me this error and all of the settings are correct. Even new apps from G play are acting up, but aren’t giving the message.
    I recently encrypted the phone, which has caused many problems that I have worked through. I assume the parsing error is from this. Have you heard of anything like that before?

    • Reply jigar Tank September 6, 2014 at 10:40 pm

      Hi Austin, its strange and i have not heard of this Earlier, But now i know and you have your answer itself, Redownloading the Apks is the only option i can see.
