try updating your playstore. current version is 3.10.10.
there is also a work around for this one from this site:http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f163/how-to-fix-package-file-is-invalid-error-on-play-store-119585/
it says:
Default How to fix "Package file is invalid" error on Play Store
2 of my friends have got this strange problem where they get "Package file is invalid" error when they download apps from Play Store via WiFi. and when they download via 3G it is fine.
One of them is solved with the methods below, the other one still got the problem ...
1. Go to Application Manager, clear cache and data for Google Play Store
2. Stop the Google Services Framework process and then clear cache and data
3. Go to http://play.google.com/store , click on "My Orders & Settings" at the bottom
4. Give a nick name to your phone and make sure the "Show in menus" is checked, click on "update" to confirm the changes
5. reboot the phone
-------
doing this will remove your saved login to playstore or could lose your contacts as this also involves clearing google services.
its always a good practice to make backup before proceeding.

Thanks dude.My play store was up to date
But it worked fine after cleared the cache and data for playstore

[Q] Rooted phone and deleted google play NEED HELP!

I rooted my phone last night using poot and super user. I downloaded a modded google play from pirate bay thinking it was gonna give me free apps. i deleted the google play that was orginally on my phone now i can't get it back. i tried factory reset. i tried downloading a google play apk but everytime i open it after download is crashes. i want to unroot my phone but dont have a usb cord and dont have google play. what do i do?!?!?!

its ok
a lot of times roms do not have a google play apk but now here is what you can do .YOU can search the web ,and install google play 4.0.25 its the new one and it is downloadable as an apk file.JUST tipe downloadandroidrom in your browser and go to apk and then go to market, click on com.android.vending .If you have any problems installing it ,try use a file explorer.

First off, we dont support piracy on xda.
To solve your problem, download a play store in apk format from sites like androidpolice etc. and push it to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r. You are done.

Ok. Install the app directly. Download another app called link2sd. Grant superuser access. Then open app window. Click on google play. Click on actions button. see options and click "make system app". It will make it system app automatically. Then reboot your phone. If it still FC, use fix permissions option from cwm recovery.

make sure that you also have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.APK. AFAIK you need these two as well to get the play store app to work.

superuser says my binary is outdated. when i go to update it, it crashes saying it has stopped unexpectly. on link2sd all the options under actions is launch manage reinstall unistall. i tried manage and it just took me to application settings. i hope i didnt screw up my phone rooting it last night because i cant do anything on it. google play has got to where i can go in install an app but soon as i hit accept and download it crashes. i did a factory reset last night so poot and superuser are gone. i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes. is this fixable or is my phone screwed up lol. i really appreciate you helping me!!!

You can disable notifications from superuser app. Also you won't loose root if you factory reset your phone. Superuser app is set as system app when you root it. Also follow what justmpm said above.

You must install the Goggle play compatible with your Android version and your phone.
Please provide the phone model, Android version and if you have a custom recovery or not,

If you are still unable to install playstore apk, i will recommend downloading gapps for your phone model. Flash them from custom recovery using install zip. This should install your playstore. No clue if it can override the pre exisiting apps. Still learning on xda.

I don't think he has a curtom recovery set up. Flashing Gapps would overwrite existing ones, but most gapps packages are configured to abort the installation if some gapps already exist.

Try this app as an alternative
Have u tried downloading 1 mobile apk its like Google play store try it

He is already on root, and perhaps if there's nowhere the solution, ome simply can't live without playstore. I will advise full system wipe with data and installing a newer custom recovery and then new rom with new gapps.

Solution?
Any proper solution for this? Running on CM12.1.

Brother sorry we couldn't help you in this case because we don't know how to fix it . One thing you can do is that Google it and you will found some better response for sure

Dude, that is the easiest thing to fix, but if the OP doesn't tell us the phone model and version i wont even bother trying to fix it. OP is inactive anyways...

I need your help :: Google Play Store app is crashing

Hi Friends
For the past couple of days I'm struggling with the the google play app crashing problem.
I have tested all most all CM ROMs (9.1, 10, 10.1, miniCM, etc...) but in all ROMS when I tap the Google Play app its opening and after 2-3 seconds its crashing with a error message "Urfortunately ......". I'm not frustrated and do not know what to do.
What and How I'm doing
------------------------------------
1. made partition (from TWRP recovery) to my 16GB Class 10 microSD card : 1GB sd-ext
2. Copy CM rom and gapps to SD card from TWRP by mounting the SD card
3. Clear cache, davinc, factory rest from TWRP
4. Clear system, delete the existing ROM
5. Flash rom and then gapps
6. reboot
Please help me as I'm not able to install ANY app without google play app. Is there any other way to install apps w/o google play app ?
Thank you.

Nothing works bro, I ve tried everything and still its crashing.
BTW, It may be really mad, but I noticed one of friend who had visited to my home and his Google Play store app was also crashing with my wifi setup (connected his phone to my wifi). Is it something related to wifi ???
Also when I'm trying to visit xda forums all CSS styles are gone and I'm seeing only weird plain HTML pages with all browsers, but on Linux/FF it works perfectly with same router.

Use int2ext script not int2ext+ i faced the same problem..
I replaced the script.. Cleared dalvich cache and data of playstore..
I deleted the account and added again.. It worked..

I'm not actually good at this but do I need to remove all my apps then change the script or there is an easier and less time consuming way.
Thanks

There are 2 ways:
1. Copy the script in the ROM zip then flash the ROM..
Now you can do is flash over the present ROM installation after wiping cache and dalvich cache ..
2. Copy paste script..
As you have many apps I would suggest that remove apps then put the script..
The reason for removal of apps is it will take a long time to boot plus you may never know what may go wrong .. You can restore your apps via titanium backup so uninstalling won't be a problem..
Hit thanks in the left corner if I helped you..
via Apache Helicopter

First of all backup ur all the installed apps with ES file explorer or other one, and also backup ur phonebook contacts then reset ur mobile... I m sure that It will work

[Q] Aptoide no connection

Guys can anyone tell me how to make aptoide work ?
I just installed it but I can't download any app ... whenever I try to install it it says no connection , tough it first searches for it and it also find it.

I don't know what to do ... messed up with some folder permission as I've a read a guide on google but still it dosen't work ... any idea ? by the way every update that aptoide offers me goes just fine it downloads it without saying nothing about connection.
