Brave Android Cannot Install

Brave on Android Version 14, Build: UP1A.231005.007.S911U1UES4CXI4 will neither update nor install.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to “Manage Apps” in Google Play Store
  2. Select Brave in list of installed apps
  3. Select update
  4. You will receive error message saying “Can’t install Brave Private Web Browser, VPN”
  5. Uninstall Brave, power phone off and back on.
  6. Go to Google Play Store and search for Brave
  7. Select Brave and click on Install.
  8. You will receive the same error message as from attempt at updating.

Expected result:
When you select Brave in “Manage Apps” in the Google Play Store when prompted to update, and you select it to update, it should update. When you click “Install” to do a fresh install of Brave, it should install.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Cannot install to check this. The current version on the Google Play Store.

Additional Information:
Brave was running fine. I was prompted by Android that I had several apps to update. I chose to update them and ran into this problem when I came to Brave.
