I'm having a Playstore problem. After Vivo Android 9 install, I no longer have the Google Playstore. When I try to install the APK from my phone's storage, Vivo security interferes and denies the install. When I try installing from my pc Google online Playstore, I get a message stating there's no phone linked to my account. Removing all Google apps and reinstalling Gmail or Maps as Vivo Facebook suggested, still doesn't install Playstore. The update from Vivo has somehow cut my phone's link with Google Playstore. From what I've come to understand it has something to do with a "handshake" file Vivo severed on my phone.
Any suggestions on getting back Playstore - or which Google apk to remove for initiating a fresh new Google install as when I first purchased the phone?

Do you have the Chinese or Global version?

You could try installing manual play store via apk mirror.

Try not only the most recent version but oldest as well.

Maybe that be the solution

Also uninstall both play store /play services from your device(more settings-app manager-more-show system)before attempting install manual both Google services.

Thanks! That one worked with no hiccups. I downloaded version 14.7.50
