For Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean MR1, API 17), you cannot simply download the "latest" version from a standard search, as modern APKs require much newer versions of Android.
Android blocks the installation of apps downloaded outside the official store by default. Open your device . Scroll down and tap Security . Find the Unknown Sources option. Toggle the switch to On and accept the warning. 2. Check Your Current Play Store Version
32.0.15? Too new. 20.0.12? Maybe.
You cannot install the latest version of the Google Play Store on Android 4.2.2. Modern versions require Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher.
If you want, I can tell you exactly which are best for 4.2.2 or guide you through a factory reset if the store keeps crashing. Just let me know what you need!
