**Steps:**
1) I Opened the android application (built with `cordova`)

2) Then I called [`cordova-webintent`][1] for installing updates


3) I pressed Install and it starts installing, but after a few seconds, the app force stops and shuts instead of installing and opening the updated app.

This problem appeared some time ago and I can&#39;t understand why this happened, because the version of `cordova-webintent` and `cordova` are the same.

4) After the app force stopped, I tapped on the application icon, but there is a message that &quot;App isn&#39;t installed&quot;. The app continues installing in the background after some seconds. I tapped again on the application icon and the updated application opened.

Why is the app force stopping while installing?
