Apps Apps will not install on 8.1

I am new to this, but my own apps were installing fine on 7.1 then my Tab A took the 8.1 update a few days ago and now the installer just flashes then exits.

I have tried rebuilding code cleaning code shutting down and restating Studio 3.x
any thoughts?

If I reset my TabA will it go back to 7.1 or am I stuck with 8.1 forever?

This is over 6 different apps by the way.

The previously installed apps run fine on 8.1 but will not re-install.
 
Your apps installed fine on android 7.1 but not on 8.1?

Did you set compileSdkVersion in build.gradle high enough?
Code: 
compileSdkVersion 28

That is correct, the installed apps still run fine but the installer just flashes on screen then back to drop box
I use drop box as my own app store, it has worked for a long time now.
I just took the 8.1 update a few days ago.
I am thinking maybe it did not go so well. Will a reset take me back 7.1.1 or will it stay at 8.1 now?
I just checked for updates on google studio and Im good.

Never mind its working, I did a factory reset,of my tablet and now all is well, my guess is that the upgrade to 8.1 did not go well.
A good hint was that I seemed to be the only person with the problem.

Thanks
