I have a new problem that is affecting me with my paid apps. Everytime I try to install them from the Play Store I get the following error "couldn't install on usb storage or sd card"

I have previously installed the apps fine but this just started and affects old purchases as well. Since this affects multiple devices including fresh wiped devices the problem is not my devices and must be a problem on Googles end.

One device is my Samsung Galaxy S II running a stock 4.1.2 touchwiz based rom and the other is a Genymotion tablet VM that is AOSP 4.2.2 based

I have unmounted my sd card on the S II so it would not try to use it but the tablet uses the combined data/sdcard partition so no unmounting is possible.


I was able to install one paid app (only paid app that has low enough system requirements) on a old Motorola Milestone running 2.3.4 then pulled the apk and sideloaded it on the other devices which also points to a Play Store problem and not the device.
