Our UWP app recently got a updated certificate (pfx). New users are able to install it, but users with previous versions cannot update.
When they try to update they get the message:
Ask the developer for a new app package. This package may conflict with a package that is already installed or it may depend on things not installed here (package dependencies) or be made for a different architecture (0x80073CF3)
A workaround to this is to uninstall it and reinstall it, but group policy for our customer prevents this. Is there a way of updating without uninstalling?
The package family name (subject) is different in the new licence.
When installing via Powershell:
Windows cannot install package *******_12.1.0.0_neutral_~_83zx72fh7sqme because a different package *******_13.2.1.0_x86__e91qp94tx8r3y with the same name is already installed. Remove package *******_13.2.1.0_x86__e91qp94tx8r3y before installing.
UPDATE We got a certificate from a different provider with EXACTLY the same subject and are able to update the app rather than reinstall it.
