How to solve "app not installed" error on installing rebuild recompiled resigned after editing modifying app manifest through Apk editor for changing Android storage location?

I was trying to edit manifest installLocation="preferExternal" I tried with to modify apk manifest of installed app through apk editor app from apk editor apps comman edit option menu it worked successfully with many apps it recompiled rebuild and resigned and then I unistalled installed and moved the app it worked great and made unmovable apps movable

But some of the user apps apk mainfest edited changed builded signed properly but after uninstalling and reinstalling recompiled rebuilds resigned apps again it gave error "app not.installed " out of 10 apps I edited modified it didn't worked for 3 apps but 7 it worked installed perfectly.

I saw some video on YouTube they resigned the file recompiled rebuild file by all editor with zip signer app or apksigner app I tried with Both but still same error

Is there any other parameters to be changed in manifest to resolve the problem.Or its not possible to rebuild edit with some other apps.

Is there alternative apps like apk editor which modifies edits apk mainfest and auto decompile compile builds signs automatically .

Any solution suggestion advice for solving the problem
