Parsing package error after modified apk with apk editor

Hi! I just modified an apk because i want to clone it. I actually want to install 2 same app in a same device. 1 is ready modded that i download from other site, 1 is original from app store. So my step is like this ( if there is another way to make this, pls teach me how)

1) I clone the original by editing its display and package name using apk editor pro

2) I uninstall the original app store app and keep the cloned app

3) I install the ready modded app from other site.

4) so i should have 2 same app right? The cloned original and the modded apps.

So my problem is step 1. The cloned original app cant be install due to parsing error

Note that i tried doing these steps:-

allowing unknown source, edit the sdk to make it compatible to my current firmware. The apk is not corrupted because its from play store. Disabled the antivirus.

So how do i fix it? Sry if this question so noob. Idk what to do!!
 
What app are you trying to clone?

I actually want to install 2 same app in a same device

Why do you need to do that?

FYI "parsing error" when installing, can mean the app is either corrupted or is incompatible with your device. Given that it's a modded or hacked app, I suspect it's the former.
