Have you ever had a syntax error message when you try to run a file on the computer screen or on the “Android” device? If so, do not despair: many people face such a problem. This article will talk about the causes of this error and how to fix it.
A syntax error message in the name of a file, folder, or volume may appear on the computer screen when you try to open a file. Most likely, the problem arises due to the incorrect name of the program. For example, the name may contain unacceptable hieroglyphs or foreign languages together with English letters. Edit the file name, and such an error should disappear.
You may also need to start checking the disk on which the program is installed (the device itself will detect the problem and get rid of it) or reinstalling the operating system. But what if a syntax error occurs during parsing of the Android package?
The essence of the error
For some people, reporting a problem like this will not be fully understood. It is not immediately clear how to fix such a mistake. You should understand it this way - the system cannot install the application due to parsing problems. What to do in such a situation?
An error occurred while parsing the package. What to do?
One of the main causes of this error is an outdated version of Android on your device. How to determine which version of the operating system on your device? You need to go to "Settings" - "About phone" (or "About device"), as shown in the photo below.
Then you need to look at the requirements for the game that you want to install. If the version of the smartphone’s operating system is lower than the one stated by the manufacturer of the application, installing the game will fail. In this case, to run the program, you will need to update the phone firmware.
You can do this by going to "Settings" - "System Update".
Is there another way to resolve the syntax error when parsing the package? You can search for previous versions of the same application. Perhaps, before the update, the game supported lower versions of Android. Sometimes, on different sites, craftsmen optimize the game at the request of users and independently lower the requirements for the version of the operating system. Modified versions appear some time after the original ones, so it is important to be patient.
Keep in mind that there are applications that are compatible with only a few devices and with specific processors. You won’t be able to launch such a game, even if you have an “Android” version 7 or higher.
Additional solutions to the problem
Also, for some users, the inclusion of "USB debugging" in the device’s settings in developer mode helped to remove a syntax error when parsing the package.
It is possible that the root of the problem may be in the installed antivirus. He can "swear" because of the application, considering it dangerous. In this case, temporarily disable the security software to install the game, if you, of course, are convinced of the security of the application for your device.
Another reason for the parsing error when parsing the package is a violation of the integrity of the file itself that you want to install. It may be damaged on the site where you downloaded it. Therefore, install the file from another source. Also, the download may fail while downloading the file, so try downloading the application again.
Total
So, no matter what this problem is caused by, the above steps will help you launch the application you need. Syntax error is a common occurrence. But still, it can often be overcome, for example, by updating the device’s firmware, downloading another version of the game, or downloading the entire file.
