So, the search giant is now blocking the installation of some Google apps on other Android 11 devices and showing a “Verification Failure” error. If you are also getting errors like “The new package couldn’t be installed because the verification did not succeed” then here is what you need to do.
Fix Verification Failure Error on Android 11 (2021)
In this method, we will be re-installing Google Play Services to fix the Verification Failure error. However, due to the re-installation, you might have to add your Google backup account again and might face battery drain in the initial few hours. Having said all of that, let’s now jump to the steps.
First of all, install the Play Services Info app (Free) on your Android smartphone. We are using this app because you can’t access Google Play Services from the Play Store.
Next, open it and tap on “App Info“. It will take you to the Google Play Services page.
Here, tap on the 3-dot menu on the top-right corner and select “Uninstall updates“. It will give you a warning saying it will replace Google Play Services with the factory version. No need to worry, just tap on “OK”.
Now, open the Play Services Info app again and this time, tap on “Play Store“. It will take you to the Play Store page of Google Play Services.
Now, simply update the app and then restart your device.
Finally, install any Google app and this time, you should not get the ‘Verification Failure’ error on your Android 11 device.
If the above method didn’t work for you then there is a root method that will require you to have Xposed Module as well. Just follow the guide by Alessandro Paluzzi and you will be all set. From now on, you won’t get errors like “The new package couldn’t be installed because the verification did not succeed” or “INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE”.
