How to manage installed apps without root?
Hi!
I had an issue while installing an app through fdroid, so I shut fdroid down because the install process was going on and never ending after several minutes, but know I can't install the app from fdroid nor from the direct apk file.
I suspect there's a file stored somewhere, creating a conflict and preventing me from installing the app that I need, but i can't access the directory where apps from fdroid are stores unless I root my device, which I don't feel comfortable doing.
Has anyone had the same issue? What are my options?
Also I'm running GrapheneOS.
Thank you for your help,

If you are using GrapheneOS Are you also using multiple profiles? If so the version of the app to be installed needs to be the same on all profiles.
Thanks a lot, it seems that it was indeed the issue!
Yeah it tripped me up once too. How I have it setup is. In the owner profile I install a few apps including fdroid and aurora store. And from the profile manage thing install the app stores in all other profiles I need them in.
Is it possible your file explorer use a trash bin and old apk inside it are causing problems?
With mix explorer I had such problem and solved it disabling trash bin in it's setttings. (Just emptying was also working)
