I am using Insular and create a work profile.
In the Work profile, say I want to install a modded version of an app; alongwith it I also want to install the normal version in the Home profile.
When I install the second app, it doesn’t installs and a message appears that sort of says, “Another user has already installed this app which is different from this and is of some other version”.
Till now, i always thought work profile makes a complete another instance and no corelation with the Home Profile. I want to know was am I wrong somewhere, or had not doing the setup properly.
I think it shares the APK, for example when you install an app from the app store the first time it downloads and installs it, but when you install it again from the work profile it doesn’t need to download it.
That said if you are modding the app, if you change the app id (might be called something else), then android might be ok because it thinks they’re different apps entirely avoiding the problem.
Good thinking.
That’s weird. I use Shelter, and I run different versions of Tasker. From play store on the work profile and from Fdroid on the home profile. Maybe it’s a few apps that don’t allow it?
