Package File is Invalid-Google Play store

**BobbyTC** · 12-24-2012, 11:57 AM

I received my Nexus 4 16gb last Thursday and really enjoying my first ever smartphone.

I am experiencing problems downloading apps from the Google Play store. Receive package file is invalid most times I attempt to download an app.

Welcome to the (Android) jungle!

Play store had some intermittent problems lately, but weeping cache never hurts.
