Can I resolve the -505 error on the Play Store as an application developer? (not Adobe AIR application)

Question

I have an application in which the current update does not correspond to the part of users who say the error “-505” when they try to update the application through the Play Store, and this only happens on Lolipop.

After some searching on the Internet, I found that this could happen to my application if it was an application based on Adobe Air, which is not so. I also read about permission duplication for GCM, but the m application does not work with GCM.

Most stack overflow messages say that all I need to do is to tell my users to perform factory reset ... which I would not want to do because I have too many users, such as that ..

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

I found a solution a few days after I asked a question. The problem is caused by the same privilege in the content provider as in my application. With the release of Lollipop, Android no longer allows a non-standard privilege string in the content provider. Thus, the shortest solution for this is to simply add the application package name string to the authority.

This is how my content provider is written and works: I found a solution by reading the error report that one of my users sent me.
