When are all the apps going to be compatible with Jelly Bean?

Its starting to aggravate me that my old phone can do more than this tablet. Is jb really that new? No one prepared for it's release? Come on! Love my tablet but wtf is the hold up with the apps not being ready to use like td bank and Amazon mobile to name a few.

I must agree to a certain extent. NatWest banking app fails on jellybean, it just won't show my balance. For the most part however, apps work fine.

Unlikely has anything to do with JB. Most likely the permissions listed below are incompatible with the Nexus 7.
Amazon Mobile requires these permissions:
Your location
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
Network communication
full Internet access, view network state
Hardware controls
take pictures, control vibrator

TD Bank (US) requires these permissions:
Services that cost you money
directly call phone numbers
Your location
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
Network communication
full Internet access, view network state

Amazon mobile in the play store says its not compatible with the nexus 7. but If you sideload it it works fine. using it right now on my device.
Didnt try the td bank app but try sideloading that one as well. It might work.

I googled amazon mobile apk and found the apk on like the 3 result. When it downloaded it was amazon.man for some reason. I just renamed the .man to .apk and voila

Yes I keep encountering apps that don't appear in the market. They may very well work, but won't appear for nexus 7/jelly bean.
Some examples?
linephone
GT racing Hyundai edition
And there are lots of others that I can't think of now. Since owning this nexus (since launch date) I've probably encountered 30-40 apps that aren't available on the market. And I know there are lots others. Didn't really bother me at first, but I thought with how much this has sold that developers would issue (what would be minor most of the time) updates so these would be available.
And I've never bothered looking into it, but I know obviously you can keep an apk when downloading it from the market and others have posted them on various websites for others in situations like this, however my understanding is with jb it encrypts them so this is no longer possible with jb.
Because sometimes I get determined and go hunting for an apk and it turns out to be two versions behind or whatever. Is there a way to download apks even on jb? Is there an app that can do this? I'm not saying this regarding pirating, just another means of trying to get apps that are free that would more than likely work on this device.

Package invalid

Okay so first things first:stock rom stock everything
What I've tried before asking for help
1. Tried re-downloading said apps (multiple apps)
2.uninstall-reinstall
3.clear playstore information
4.opera normal is the only one of a couple that are giving this error that I care about. Tried using other versions of opera that have never been installed before on this device or downloaded from my playstore account, they work perfectly fine. Its just the one version that just happens to be (what's in my opinion) the best.
Havent tried a factory reset, this happened after I synced/updated with kies and added a whole bunch of music on my standard 16gb sd card....had to move it from my phone storage because it caused problems
My question is obviously how do I fix this?
As a part 2 to that question how do I figure out where my phone is default installing apps? It should be the phone storage not the sd card right?

Or you could roll back to a previous version of the PlayStore by uninstalling the current one.
That worked in a number of cases.

I had the same problem and I had to do the following:
1. Cleared the cache and data from: Google play store, Google Play services, and Google Services Framework
2. If under the Google play store there is a button to uninstall updates do that as well.
3. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and the davik cache
I then rebooted and I was fine. Have not seen the problem since

[Q] Can't get rid of "package file is invalid" error in PlayStore

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?

Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I can download certain apps no problem but can't update any. I tried almost everything you did and nothing worked. I even took it to att and was told it's an issue with Google. You can always download a vpn app from the play store and you'll be able to download with no errors. I use hideninja Vpn.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.

its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient

How much space do you have? Should have plenty if you're running a custom ROM.

AT&T LG G3 "Device Isn't Compatible Version"

Well, I have 3 apps that will not install on my new AT&T LG G3: ESPN Scorecenter, Open Table and Amazon Mobile.
I have searched on XDA and everywhere else for a cure. I have tried removing the SIM, clearing the Play Store Data, Airplane mode, etc and nothing works. Is anyone else having this issue? I guess I will just sideload the apk if I can find them but I also read where this may be due to the dpi issue. Our screens may be too high of a dpi and the app won't allow an install.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys for all the info. I have all the apps installed but I wonder if they will update when new versions come out? They are not showing as installed in the Play Store. I guess I will have to watch for updates. I will email the devs.
