app cannot be installed an existing package by the same name

Hey guys! I just bought my S8 unlocked in Canada to use it with my sim card from Mexico, my S8 got blocked with that sim card and some forums recommended to use a sim card from the same country, do a 5 min phone call and everything will be nice. It didn't solve it but installed in my phone bloatware from Fido...
I fixed that lock region problem but not this one... Fido install as a bloatware Spotify, so I can only disable, cannot uninstalled unless I root my phone which I don't want to... Yet (at the end of the warranty) and of course, I want to install Spotify the premium one, but there's this little problem
app cannot be installed an existing package by the same name
I tried "uninstall" from abd with my computer and nothing... I tried using apk editor... Nothing...

If you guys know a possible solution another to root the phone, I'll appreciate

1. you can't root the canadian s8
2. change your csc to xac, this is the unbranded canadian s8 firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your whole phone and you won't have any fido bloatware

I get the same error unless I'm installing immediately after a fresh wipe. I dl everything I want then install it after setup.

Thank you so much!!! I did it and solve my problem!!! Now I installed Spotify premium and no problems at all:good:

Just taped *#272*IMEI# on my call dial and chose XAC and that's it!! I didn't even care about restore my phone like fabric... So better do a backup if someone is gonna do this

Thanks again
