[Q] Problem with APKs - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!!
I'm a new Moto G owner and I always had install Walkman by Sony. The first day I own my phone I install it. Today I try to update this app with a new APK but the phone says "App not installed", I delete de old app(and all dates and cache) and try again install the new apk but I get the some message. Because of this I decided reinstall the old APK but my sorprise when I'm installing the old APK (the same I installed few days ago) the phone says again "App not installed" and I can't install it.
Have anyone any solution for this??
My Moto G is not rooted.

Try to install it with adb (adb install Walkman.apk). It usually gives you a reason why he can't install the package. Alternatively you can do an 'adb logcat' while installing and look the log for the problem. I hope this helps.

[Q] "App not installed" after factory reset.

Hello.
Yesterday i did a factory reset on my phone.After which i am unable to install a "few apps".I have tried installing app from the .apk file i had as backup and also from Play store but no success.
When trying to install from .apk file the app begins to install but after like 3 or 4 seconds it says.
"App not installed"
nothing else.
i tried to install the same app from Play store, again no success. App downloads 100% but when installing it says something like "unknown error: error code"-24" " and then nothing.
This happens for a few Apps only.They are all server softwares that contain Apach,PHP,MySQL.The first of these i installed was KSweb server. Then last time i did a factory reset i faced this problem for KSweb server. I tried quite a lot of things but no success.
So i downloaded another app (DroidPHP) with same functionality it was downloded and installed fine and also worked great.But yesterday i did a factory reset again after 4 months maybe. And now i am unable to install DroidPHP aswell. Also KSweb is not installing and showing same error.
i have an unrooted phone running Jelly Beans 4.2
Try to push app to system/app then reboot,
Or Wipe data,Cache & flash a Rom fully!

App wont install

Hi. New version of Remote Play found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147[1]
Asks you to go into recovery and flash the zip. I had a working version of the app which was installed from a normal APK, and it worked fine. I uninstalled this APK and downloaded the new one and flashed it. It said it installed successfully however when I turn the phone on, the app isn't there. Not showing up in Settings -> Apps either. Wiped dalvik cache and still no luck.
Downloaded the old version where you install by APK and it tries install then says "App not installed". It's like its detected a newer version that I can't see.
Anybody have any idea how I can fix this?

Unable to install app (Facebook Messenger) and I'm out of ideas

Problem: I cannot (re)install Facebook Messenger
History: I have two Pixel 2 phones. I had facebook messenger when I initially set up on both. I noticed that there was an update that would not download and install. I have had this issue in the past with other apps & phones. So I uninstalled the app, to reinstall via play store. It would not install giving a "error -505". I have found that "error -505" basically means "something went wrong, but we aren't going to tell you what." I tried my Titanium Backup from both phones; Both TiKbp sit at the restoring notification for a long time. By long time, I mean I actually let it work for over an hour. I have tried going back to stock boot & dtbo image via OTA and flash-all, and also tried removing Magisk. Installing the APK from the TiKbp refuses to work either; I get the installing progress bar, then "App not installed".
Phone info:
Google version & oem unlocked bootloader
December 8.1
TWRP 3.2.1
Rooted via Magisk V14.5(1456) (works properly, safetynet passes)
Snoke R1 Kernel
Viper4Android (works properly)
Currently: One phone has Facebook Messenger (145.0.0.25.203) installed (will not update). The other refuses to install in any fashion I try.
Do any of you know of something else I can try?

Tried three different APKs with no luck.
I figured out the issue.
Apparently my facebook app version 3.9 was claiming a permission the Messenger needed.
I uninstalled facebook the second time around and success!
adb install is my new best friend haha
