Help "Application cannot be installed in the default install location"

Prerequisites-

-This error message ONLY applies to apps made by Google (ex. Maps, Drive, etc) all my other apps update just fine.

-I am on rooted Galaxy S4

-I've researched this topic already, but couldn't find any solutions. The closest I got was the suggestion to, under settings>storage>preferred install location, untick "SD" and change to "let device decide," but the s4 doesn't have any preferred install location settings. Additionally, I tried to unmount the SD card and try updating apps, but as soon as my SD card is unmounted, my phone reboots itself. I can't start the phone without my SD card for some reason.

I've tried clearing caches here and there, and I definitely have enough space, I've even deleted some other apps. And yes, I have rebooted, many times.

Help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
