There is a few work a rounds for this and it is different for different people.
1.go to sync, then Google. Click to unsync Google mail and click to sync again.
2. Go into all applications, find Google services framework or something like that and clear all of it's data.
3. This is known to work less but just try hitting install repeatedly and it MIGHT work.
Hope I helped.

Maybe Google saw your last tax report and figured you can pay for all your apps?

Automatically download all my apps from google play.

After factory resetting my GS3, the phone does not automatically downloads all my apps from google play but I have to go in and click one by ONE......
I have hundreds of Apps and it will take very long. How come the phone does not do it anymore. It use to do it every time i reset.
what am I missing?
Thanks,

When you first setup your phone after a clean ROM flash it usually ask you if you want to sync up your Google applications. If you unchecked one of the options it will not automatically sync Google Apps from the Play Store. For me i prefer not to autosync and use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. This is much faster. There are some apps which when restore with TBU will not activate properly and for those i am not restoring from backup.
You could also access the Play Store from a web browser and directly send the installation to you phone. This way you don't have to waste time going through each App on your phone.

Yeah it doesn't work for me either. It worked great on my Galaxy Note but has never worked on the S3 anyone have a clue on how to fix this??? THanks

I'm having the same problem.... That sucks.

Go to settings, application manager and click on Google Play store. I would clear data and clear cache. You can also try unistalling updates. Hipe that works for you. Good luck

I was having a similar problem with the play store on my new gs3, except it kept telling me to "enable background data" when it and sync was already on...all I did to fix it was delete the google acct from the phone and sign back in, and it works fine now. Hope this solves ur issue, cuz I just cringe when I hear or read someone saying "hard reset"

Had same exact error
I had this happen when I did second clean install of the MIUI/CM10 rom. I had accidentally uninstalled some needed system apps when setting up my first MIUI clean install and instead of repairing the issue, I just reflashed the rom again. On this second flashing, I had your exact error. Same error code and everything. I didn't try long to fix the issue and just reflashed clean again. Third time everything worked as it should. I would like to think there was a simpler fix, but just letting you know my experience.
Oh, and btw, I did stumble across a few threads that mentioned enabling downloads app if you disabled it. Sometimes it gets disabled for whatever reason in the middle of an update or download and will not allow your phone to download anything new until the queue is complete and the notification occurs.
Good luck

[Q] Package File is Invalid

Has anyone else had a problem with updating or downloading apps? I've tried everything. I've called both Google Play Support and AT&T. I've restarted my router and modem, factory reset my phone, re-flashed the UCAMA4 ROM and updated to the latest UCAMC3 and it still happens. Most notably with Google apps like Chrome, Maps, Play Music, YouTube, Google Plus and Hangouts.

Been having the same issue all day.

I'm not a programmer, net tech background, but you guys have the latest issues posting on the web. I've been having the same issues all day, spoke with Google and ran their pre-programmed solutions. I'm just trying to do a reset & rebuild, all other apps seemed to install all right. Originally had issues with updating Chrome & Samsung Link, but in the past hr these 2 have been updated successfully. Only remaining issue is trying to install Twitter, still getting the same error.

Google issues all day myself. ..
And being linked to my home and work computers has made the problem even worse as I'm 4 states away from home. .
But I guess it's okay. .
At least I can post. ..g

I have 5 phones on my account and 4 (including the phone I personally use) of them, that I know of, are getting this message when trying to update apps or install apps. This includes certain Google apps, the AT&T apps and Facebook Messenger. I'm guessing this is going to turn into a widespread issue. I honestly think anyone and everyone who are having should call the Google Play Support number to report this error. Maybe then they fast track a fix once the programmers are notified of the error.

I said this once I'll say it again.. Try and update ur apps from a cellular network.. Not wifi......

Just tried 3 times to update Chrome Beta, over cellular network and got the error...

That's weird... I had a Samsung link update, I would get same error... Then I tried over cellular network and presto it worked.. Maybe keep trying?

Tried that. It works temporarily.

From my perspective, I think this error is linked to Android Device Manager. I haven't received the update yet, but started receiving this message on Monday. That is about the same time Android Device Manager started rolling out.

Things I tried...
Just trying to help figure out what is up so...
I have cleared cache on the google services, rolled back the settings update (gms.apk - removed the device manager), updated to the latest app store (4.3.10 - was on older version). I tried updating after each, no luck.
I can still download other apps, just not the google beta.
And if it matters, I am running Slim/ Devil with TBO apps...
EDIT: Working now...didn't do anything.

Wish I had seen this thread before I wiped my phone 18 times today. O well. Only Facebook is giving me this issue now.

The least they could do is allow manual update capabilities for the play services apk...
Try un installing the latest update from within your application drawer. .then allow Google services to update again. .
This issue is gone for me after doing so...g

Try deleting the app cache first. Then, delete the Google account and add it back. That should fix it for you.
Others have reported that this method doesn't fix their problems, but it did for me.
I have deleted the Dalvik Cache in the recovery mode as well, FYI.

Nexus 7 Flo 4.4.2 gapps failure

Gapps failure is the best way I can describe my problem. About a week ago my nexus 7 decided to reboot itself while I was in the middle of some gaming (asphalt 8 I think). I took it as just you know the system needed it and said whatever.
The next day some apps start having problems. Specifically Google play apps. Then all of a sudden my nexus reboots and starts boot looping on the 4 colored balls part of the boot animation and then keeps going Google then balls. Back and forth.
I used nexus toolkit (v1.8.0 I think) to reboot the device in adb then ended up reflashing stock because the problems persisted.
Now the device is not bootlooping but every few mins some app force closes or pops up saying jot responding. Or even 7-10 different popups...
Idk what to do now. Please help?
NOTE:
This nexus 7 was purchased around Christmas time at my local best buy. It has been unlocked and rooted. Only things I ever did was use titanium backup to restore some game data from my phone. Never did anything more than that! And I guessed maybe a virus (if there is any such thing on android) did this but kaspersky reports no malware of any kind.
Apps and processes that fail:
Google play
Play music
Play books
Play games
Play magazine
Google+
Gmail
Google currents
Play movies
Google search
Google keyboard
Google text to speech
I don't remember the processes that crash so when they do I will update you on what they are. Please help!

Here is one of the processes that pops up

What I would recommend that you do is use the nexus root toolkit to install twrp recovery manager then boot into recovery manager and try clearing cache and everything but dont clear data and see if that helps.
If after you try that the problem still persists then boot into recovery manager and wipe everything....cache, Dalvik, and data.
By wiping data you will have removed your apps but they can easily be reinstalled with google play. You can use titanium backup to restore game data.
Oh and give this a try first...create a new gmail account and add that account under settings and see if that fixes anything. If under the new account you dont see any problems try switching back to your original account and see if the problems go away.
Hope it helps...

Thanks droidshadow for your response. Seeing how no one else commented this really must be an issue with my device. Not widely known. I attempted your solutions to no avail so I will be sending it to Asus. Hopefully they will give me a nice unit back that has no problems.

You did get TWRP on it? You could go all out with a custom ROM. In any case this looks like a simple enough issue to fix. Go to settings > apps > scroll right to all > now scroll down to Google Play Services, click on it and then clear cache. Now go down to Google Play and clear data, clear cache and then force stop. Ignore any misbehaving warning you may see. Now go open Google Play and re-register if asked. Let me know of if this helps.
What's going on should not require you to send it in. Worst case you do a complete factory reset with fastboot and not some tool.

Thank you for your tips. I actually did clear cashe and data on the services and even on other apps that randomly shut off. It temporarily fixed the issue for about an hour then all issues came back.
I have reset with nexus toolkit, I have factory reset while on the tablet. And I have also erased everything in the stock recovery.
It sounds like a simple issue but its not being resolved! I thought about just putting on cm11 or something but not sure if that would fix it considering these problems persist. Even with a different gmail account on it.
