"textContent": "Okay!\nI can only offer so much since I am but the user like you, but Ima try.\n\nThinking about it some more, if the package differs somewhat (is installed from a different “store”, and then you try to update through a different “store”) you might get this error.\n\nToo, if you have installed these apps from the Owner profile, make sure you have “App installs and updates” set to **Enabled** in\n\n_Settings → System → Users → “X user” → App installs and updates_\n\nToo, I’ve noticed that the secondary profile only gives the “app not installed” message, when the Owner profile would more likely give a more detailed error\n\nIf these don’t find to be the issue, you might find more salvation in the GOS forum. They can be more resolution-oriented kind of people, with some roughness along the edges, but I believe in heart they only try to help. They can offer the best technical support there is!\n\nMore information about the update structure regarding this:\n\n> apps are installed “globally” on the phone, but only available to profiles that have installed the app.\n>\n> For example: if I install an app in profile A, but not in profile B, the app only shows up in profile A. But if profile B installs the app, it now shows up. It’s the same app.\n>\n> If any profile installs a newer version of the app, the app is effectively updated for all profiles (but only visible to profiles that have “installed” it)\n\n-other8026 (community mod)\n\nGrapheneOS Discussion Forum\n\n### About Owner Profile and Secondary Profile - GrapheneOS Discussion Forum\n\nGrapheneOS discussion forum",
