Can not update apps after OneUI 4 update

[Members_s80VSjS]

As subject state, I cant update my apps OR install new ones after I received the OneUI 4.0/android 12 update. I've tried a factory reset, i tested to wipe the cache partition and the galaxy boost application. Nothing helps. Sometimes randomly an app updates it self and it works but I cant force them to update. This is only for apps installed from Google Play Store. Galaxy store apps are fine.

This worked for me as well on my S21+.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, same problem here with the update to Android 12.  After the factory reset, was a few days ok then 2 updates and with last one BUL1 with December patch still the same issue to update or install apps even after clearing cache on playstore, wipe partition and app booster. Nothing seem to fix. Please Samsung, really fix the issue. I don't want to have a factory reset every month!!!! Really sad with this.

The fix worked for a few days and now the bug has come back again, I was trying to install a new app. Samsung you piece of *****, sort this. Having to do the manual fix every few days on a 1000gbp phone is not cool.

Thanks.. this fixed the issue. But i can't hit update all. it still spins. i have to update each app individually in the Play Store.  Samsung really needs to fix this issue. A lot of people are experiencing this issue since Android 12 update.

Thanks for sharing this seems to have worked, hopefully stays this way.

How do we get the attention from Samsung to fix this app updates issue? Though we have workaround for now but that's a shame we have to do this every 2 or 3 days instead Samsung fixing it properly.

No idea, not even sure if the issue if with oneui 4 or android 12...

This worked! Great!
After these instructions I could update all apps (over 50 updates were pending) and install new apps again.
So perhaps there was just a hickup in the Google Play store after upgrading to Android 12 / ONEUI 4.0?

I think Google and Samsung have officially acknowledged the issues related to Google Play and updating of Apps. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and not rely on a workaround.
