The version above my currently installed version was seen as corrupt, which I thought was way too easy.
Uninstalled current version, installed next version and it installed perfectly.
Uninstalled that, installed latest version, perfectly fine.
Aparently the, "corruptedness" was the Note 8 trying to install a full APK over the same APK when it should have been seen as a patch, or treated like an update from the original provider? (Nothing y'all did, I'm sure the updated apps in app store delete and re-install it for me. In this case would be me deleting, and installing the next updated version)
Mystery solved. Going to test performance and compare S8+ to Note 8 . I will post results soon.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Android has never seen new APKs as patches - it's always "uninstalled" and re-installed, but keeping the data files so config/state isn't lost.
You have to 'adb install -r /path/to/app.apk' using adb, I assume you have to do something similar using whatever install method you're using on-device. Clearly, that has a misleading error message.
