I have a class called CosuUtils that follows this class pretty closely. I am programmatically updating an application that is a device owner. This works fine in Android 6 but I'm getting the following error when trying to update in Android 7.

PackageInstaller: Commit of session 1108510423 failed: /data/app/vmdl1108510423.tmp/COSU specified package com.mypackage inconsistent with com.mypackage.full

In CosuUtils I set the package name as such 

public static boolean installPackage(Context context, InputStream in, String packageName) throws IOException {
    PackageInstaller packageInstaller = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInstaller();
    PackageInstaller.SessionParams params = new PackageInstaller.SessionParams(PackageInstaller.SessionParams.MODE_FULL_INSTALL);
    params.setAppPackageName(packageName);

I was passing com.mypackage to installPackage which as mentioned earlier works fine on Android 6. This doesn't work in Android 7 unless I use com.mypackage.full. The issue is this breaks the ability for users who have upgraded to Android 7 to update to the latest version of the app. What changed between Android 6 and 7 that caused it to break and is there a work around for it?

It seems to me that your issue has nothing to do with packageInstaller class - yet with flavor of your app. Are you sure that package-name stays the same for both Android 6 and 7?

Care to share build.gradle file?
