Why can I not install an app build with these two sync adapters?

Question

I'm trying to set up an app with two different sync adapters but the package installer isn't satisfied with my provider declaration. It says

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.daykm.tiger-1: Can't install because provider name com.daykm.tiger.mentions (in package com.daykm.tiger) is already used by com.daykm.tiger]

but I'm not seeing the conflict in provider name.

Here's the services and provider in the manifest:

    <service
        android:name=".sync.TimelineSyncService"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:process=":sync">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter" />
        </intent-filter>
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter"
            android:resource="@xml/timelinesync" />
    </service>

    <service
        android:name=".sync.MentionsSyncService"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:process=":sync">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter" />
        </intent-filter>
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter"
            android:resource="@xml/mentionsync" />
    </service>

    <provider
        android:name="com.daykm.tiger.sync.TwitterContentProvider"
        android:authorities="com.daykm.tiger.timeline;com.daykm.tiger.mentions"
        android:exported="false"
        android:syncable="true" />

mentionsync.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sync-adapter
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:contentAuthority="@string/authority_mentions"
    android:accountType="@string/account_type"
    android:userVisible="false"
    android:supportsUploading="false"
    android:allowParallelSyncs="false"
    android:isAlwaysSyncable="false"/>

timelinesync.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sync-adapter
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:contentAuthority="@string/authority_timeline"
    android:accountType="@string/account_type"
    android:userVisible="false"
    android:supportsUploading="false"
    android:allowParallelSyncs="false"
    android:isAlwaysSyncable="false"/>

account_sync.xml holding strings for all the syncing stuff:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="account_type">tiger.com</string>
    <string name="authority_timeline">com.daykm.tiger.timeline</string>
    <string name="authority_mentions">com.daykm.tiger.mentions</string>
    <string name="intent_name">database-change</string>
</resources>

Change the value of allowParallelSyncs from False to True. You can also check out this link Android multiple sync adapter items like Google Account?

I think you can't create 2 sync adapters with the same accountType, try using two different values for the two sync adapters.

I figured that having multiple syncing servies is how you have multiple listings in the system menus, System > accounts > accountType. Is that not how it works? – Daykm Aug 24 '16 at 18:09
