Not to be confused with command line options which are here

Force

This removes any existing package with the same package name and all of the associated data before installing the given APK on the connected device.

The id is version-independent of both the App Installer, and the APK version. The id is also independent of the APK file name. The id, also referred to as the package name, is given to the APK file by its internal manifest, which was compiled in.

Update (Reinstall)

Reinstalls (or updates the app) with the given APK.

The APK used determines if the process would be considered an upgrade or a re-install. If the APK file being used is different than the APK file that was previously used to install the package, the process would be upgrading. Otherwise, as long as a previously installed version of the same package is on the phone, the process would be reinstalling. If the application is not currently installed on the phone, then this option is ignored.
