Solution
Updating (or downgrading) apps with an APK is usually a wonderful option to either go back to a supported but less-than-optimal version or receive a newer version without having to wait for the official Play Store release. It does not, however, always work as intended. We propose removing the original software and doing a clean install instead of updating an app (overwriting version).
Of course, this does not apply to some system software that cannot be removed. You can't even use the stock package installer to upgrade some Android skins. For them, you need presumably
delete updates and then sideload an APK to restore them. So, instead of updating and downgrading an app, conduct a fresh install with an APK.
