 +==== Error - 26 ==== 
 +This error is concerning Xiaomi again but this has nothing to do with Play Store. Error -26 is related to MIUI's package manager and translates to INSTALL_FAILED_SYSTEM_INCOMPATIBLE. So, it is MIUI who is preventing the install.  Somehow MIUI thinks that the apk is incompatible. 
 + 
 +**Solution** 
 +  * try to downgrade your MIUI to the version that did not block Locus Map installation 
 +  * block automatic updating of your MIUI 
 +  * wait for a new version that hopefully will be fixed
