the app for SharePoint is in an invalid state and cannot be uninstalled

Error : The app for Sharepoint is in an invalid state and cannot be uninstalled.

Error : Skipping the uninstall step because the app for SharePoint is in an invalid state and cannot be uninstalled.

Error : Error occurred in deployment step ‘Install app for SharePoint’: The provided App differs from another App with the same version and product ID.

I was having a problem with deploying my SharePoint Hosted App into my Dev SharePoint environment. Earlier version of installed app was having some issues in Removal. while i tried to remove the app got the error "Sorry, we couldn't remove the app. Click to retry"


To Fix all the issues there is one solution. Actually your timer job service got stuck due to this sharepoint is unable to remove the App.

Go to Windows Services and Restart the "Sharepoint Timer Service" once the timer service will restart then again try to remove the App or Redeploy the app again on sharepoint through Visual Studio. Now it should be working fine.
