-Unfortunately there is no exact method of tackling this issue but according to our users' experience a few ways work: +**Xiaomi** suggests the following procedure (works only in 90% cases):
-  - factory reset of the device +
-  - re-installation of Google Play Store application +
-  - removing Google account and adding it back+
  
-We have contacted Xiaomi support to solve it and we are waiting for their reply.+  - deactivate the antivirus app (Optimization center > Antivirus > settings > uncheck installation monitoring) 
 +  - go to Applications > Security Guard and wipe all app data 
 +  - install Locus Map 
 +  - activate the antivirus app. <wrap alert>Beware! After the automatic update, the Security Guard uninstalls Locus Map without warning.</wrap> 
 + 
 +Another method: 
 +  - go to Settings > Privacy > Device administration > uncheck Verify apps 
 +  - re-install Locus Map 
 +  
 +Method for **rooted devices**: 
 +  - use [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup|Titanium backup]]  
 +  - backup the //com.securitycore.miui_t1.0//  
 +  - uninstall //com.securitycore.miui_t1.0//  
 +  - download and install Locus from Google Play store 
 +According to our users' experience a few other ways work as well: 
 +  * factory reset of the device 
 +  * re-installation of Google Play Store application 
 +  * removing Google account and adding it back 
 + 
 +==== 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
