i am using my customized zip (twrp flashable) since long time, but gboard and gmail latest apk (last 2-3 releases) cant be installed by twrp, comes up with error (both) though apk install as normal way and through playstore is working fine
I am using AEX rom oreo (8.1)

Are the apk's in your zip the correct ones to work with your CPU architecture? The apps have to be compatible with your hardware.

You said they install with no issues when installing from PlayStore, maybe that is because the PlayStore has the ability to detect your hardware to install the correct version of the app on your device, if the apps in your zip are built for different hardware than the ones that install from PlayStore, that would be the issue.

I also tried by copying installed apk (by root explorer) and thn uninstalling and installing by twrp again but that also didnt work. However I fresh install the rom again and the same zip worked fine...strange behaviour!!!?

Ah, you had conflicting data on the device, the clean install wiped out that conflicting data and allowed it to properly flash.
