Almost every day I need to clear cache and data in the play store app in order to get apps and updates to download. Sometimes, such as now, even multiple clears of data does not fix the issue.
Can someone please recommend some kind of a fix or workaround? It's incredibly frustrating. I am on 9.0.12 rooted.
Have you tried updating to latest play store from apkmirror? Might solve the issue.

I guess I haven't tried that. It's been going on for quite a long time. I did manually update Google Play Services though. I will try the Play Store.
No luck installing Another play store either.
After restarting the phone the apps needing update started installing. Didn't clear data this time. Very strange.
I just noticed I was having this issue today. I turned off WiFi and the updates started. I'm trying to figure out why.
Edit: It seems to have resolved itself without me doing anything.
This issue is still going on, even after the Play Store updated to the newest version. I have tried everything at this point. Next step is to set the phone on fire I guess.
I have the exact same issue.
Check your Installed tab. I bet there is an app pending for download but not showing under Update tab. Stop it by clicking the cross icon beside it. All apps under Update tab will start downloading and installing.

I'm having the same issue. I did a clean install, and I was able to install all apps without issue.
A few hours later, couldn't download new apps. They would be stuck on "downloading".
If I reboot, one app will install, but all others won't. I have to reboot again, and another will download.
Have tried all the usual tricks (play store /services cache and data, download manager), but nothing seems to work.
I'm on 9.0.14. it happens with stock or custom kernels, over 4g or wifi.
EDIT: sometimes an app will start to download and get stuck at x KB or MB. Again only a reboot will solve it.
It happens to me not when I flash the international rom but when I root any firmware. I have the T-Mobile version and it works very fast but after I root it I get the pending when downloading anything from the play store.

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

UPDATE: I was also able to find my "secdownloadprovider.apk" in my system/app but when I click install is says application not installed...
P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.
New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Gapps package? This is the i337. There is no gapps package for the i337 on mf3 or nl1

As the title says, my phone wont download any files nor download/install apps through the play store. I tried clearing cache and data from downloads and play store, and from recovery, nothing helps.. Did anyone else have this issue? (works fine on wi-fi, also clean install-flashed the latest image from google, also had this on the last beta preview NRD80M).

I had the same problem. My problem was causes by the app "Block This! 2.1". This is an advertisement-blokker.
After closing this app all went fine.
Do you have an ad-blokker, may-be?

After reading your reply, even though i know i don't have any suspicious apps, i rebooted my phone into safe mode, the issue still persists.. I think it has something to do with me not selecting "Set up as new device" when i first booted my phone after the flash, maybe something from my old backup corrupted the download process, i guess i have to do another factory reset and set it up as a new device... :'(
After I rooted my device, play store apps wont install unless exit the play store, close the app and then reopen it. Then it will install them. I tried clearing data and cache for play store and google play services but issue still persists. Anyone know how to fix this? Everything is stock. Just rooted.
Same problem here... However,

I had the same problem and no really resolved it. In fact trying to resolved it racing through twrp, i deleted my system, so i was stuck for a whole night thinking i may not recover from this.. But i did, and i turned around and rooted again, no problems now.
I ended up reflashing the stock deodexed Rom and all is well now. Not sure what did that. But thanks for the response. :good:

All Google apps? Does the play store work?
Play may have got stuck on an update. Try clearing cache and data for both services and store (or try one before the other perhaps - can't recall which one usually fixes it) then uninstall. It should just roll you back to the version that shipped with the phone. Reboot if necessary. Then try to launch play store and update your apps. It should update to the latest version without a problem and solve any issue you may have.
If that fails, I guess you can try sideloading the latest version from APKmirror.
Hi All,
So I'm facing this weird issue, where my app updates from the Google Play Store don't seem to stick.
I started having this problem when I was using LOS, and I thought maybe the ROM was the issue. But then, I switched to OOS, same thing.
An app will update and play store will show all apps updated. Then after a few hours the app will update again, and then once more. Usually the update sticks after the third update.
Also, even though I haven't kept a log, but it doesn't seem specific to some apps, it appears to be the case with all apps.
I use Magisk for Titanium Backup. But nothing else.
Also, I thought this was an issue with apps restored with Titanium Backup, but that isn't the case.
PS: I haven't tried without Magisk, as I wouldn't want to use the phone without that.
Any ideas?

Currently using Magisk on OOS and I do not have this issue, so root isn't the issue. I think it may have to do with the play store itself, as it doesn't seem to actually update the apps until the third time like you said. The only two solutions I can come up with are as followed:
1. Hold down on the play store app and clear the data on it and then disable the app (Make sure the option to go back to the factory version comes up after you press disable) and then re-enable the app again. Open it and see what happens afterwards. The idea is to get the play store to re-update itself and fix the issue.
2. Get on a computer and fastboot flash OOS again and see if it persists after you get your phone set up again.
