This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to fix Unknown error code during application install: -24 on Android

Cause

This is as a result of a clash at the /data/data folder.  While Installing an app, a folder is created for this app at the /data/data directory . If this folder isnt removed during uninstallation and you wish to re-install the app later, you could get this error.

How to fix

Method 1: Direct Downloading of the application

Try download the apk of the application online instead of from Google Playstore then install

Method 2: Delete from /data/data
  • Download and install a root explorer like ROM Toolbox lite
  • Navigate to data/data
  • Look for the file(s) that match(es) the app you're having problems installing and delete it (them)
  • Try to install the app again from Google Play Store.

Method 3: Factory resetting your device

Boot the phone into recovery mode then do a factory reset
