This is not RN issue - more like mistake when versioning your app. Here're docs about it. (tl;dr: make sure you bump versionCode in app/build.gradle when doing a release - versionCode is to determine if app is newer than previous one.).

that's an issue that happened to me. Please check if you already have installed it and then trying to install an app of the same package name (e.g of com.rnexample).

Remove the previous app then install.

I've been stuck on this for ages, full error log here (expires in 6 days) - https://privatebin.at/?3589145cf3630d25#CEFYUMchDLVVJy1zFhPutVuCjz7mMMqTTLoFh8f5e93k

Methods tried but didn't resolve my issue

  1. Restart PC
  2. Ran cd android then gradlew clean / gradlew cleanBuildCache
  3. Re-installed node modules
  4. Cleaned android build cache
  5. Deleted /app/.gradle folder and re-generated
  6. Deleted /app/build folder and re-generated
  7. Reinstalled android studio
  8. Re-cloned repo
  9. Changed android build version from 30 to 31
  10. Removed react-native-cli from global using npm uninstall react-native-cli -g
  11. Wiped all my emulators data
  12. Added more memory to android virtual device
  13. Reinstalled yarn

I didn't make any changes to the repo or local dev env, build fails simply began on a random day I started working...

It's driving me nuts, any direction / advice would be appreciated

Closing as it's a stale issue + the INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE is an Android problem and is unrelated to React Native per se.

The first answer on stackoverflow explains why this is happening: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13808599/android-emulator-installation-error-install-failed-version-downgrade

Thanks! I had a product flavor using the same applicationId

I went just until step 6, and then it worked :-)
