1. Did you remove the app for all "Users" ?

Settings -> Apps -> Choose your app -> Menu -> "Uninstall for all Users"

Android supports multiple users - if an app is installed from local/play store then it installs/is replicated for other users say - "Guest users" - Remove app from the device for all users then you must have it work.

Android requires an Unique Package name to be able to install in parallel

2. Service defined with same namespace

Another possible reason could be that "you have some services defined with same namespace" - which apparently is the issue faced by this person

3. Changing the package name in Build.gradle

After setting applicationId in build.gradle, like this: 

android { 
defaultConfig { 
applicationId "com.your.app.here" 
...
}
