Galaxy Apps is an app store for Android that lets you download hundreds of apps and videogames without needing a Google account. That said, you will need to have a Samsung user account in order to use this app. Leave a Comment on Android 9 Pie Themes for Samsung Phones on Galaxy App Store – Download Now! Android 9 Pie is the latest firmware update from Google available for several smartphones including the Pixel series, OnePlus 6, Sony Xperia devices, Essential Phone, Xiaomi via MIUI 10, and more.
When you think of installing apps onto your Galaxy S4, the virtual store that typically comes to mind is most likely the Google Play store. But your S4 can also access apps that are specifically designed for Samsung devices, through the Samsung App store. No matter which store you visit, and you can technically shop in both, you'll need a strong Wi-Fi or 4G signal and space on your phone or SD card to install the app.
Google Play Store
The Google Play store app comes pre-installed on Galaxy S4 phones, and looks like a little white paper shopping bag with a green and red arrow on the front. Tap this icon to open the store, and enter your Google account information to start shopping. After you find an app you like, tap the 'Install' button at the top of the screen to begin the download. When the download completes, your phone will automatically install the app and place a shortcut icon on one of your Home screens.
Samsung Apps Store
Ironically, the Galaxy S4 does not come pre-loaded with the Samsung App store application, so you'll need to download it yourself by opening your phone's browser and visiting the Samsung App website (see link in Resources). Download the Samsung Apps store app and install it on your phone. Shopping through the Samsung Apps store is similar to the Google Play store, as you can search by name or under categories for your favorite apps. When you find one you like, tap the price button to start the download. As with Google's store, you'll need to create an account with Samsung to download apps, so you'll be prompted to sign in or create a new account before the download commences.

Down goes another functionality after Oreo hits Galaxy S8 and Note8 units. This problem in question prevents users to upgrade apps through Samsung’s own app store. Yes we are talking about Galaxy Apps here.
Installation failed. Try again later
For past couple of weeks, Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 users have been highlighting (1,2) the issue after flashing Android Oreo – apps fail to update though Galaxy App Store. Instead, an Error 200 is thrown notifying “Installation failed. Try again later“.
The following selection of user comments will give you more clarity on the matter:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. I am on Android 8.0 and Galaxy Experience 9.0. When I try to update any of the Galaxy Apps I get an error. Installation failed. Try later. (com.samsung.android.messaging : -200). This occurs for any update on Galaxy apps. I am on wi-fi.
I got the oreo update over the weekend, and none of the Galaxy apps will update through the Galaxy Apps store. They download, then give an error try again later -200. I have wiped the cache partition, multiple times, to no effect. All of the items coming through Google Play are updating just fine.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. When I try to update any of the preloaded Apps I get an error. Installation failed. Try later. This also happens with a system update.
Same issue here with galaxy s8+. No updates possible (galaxy apps and inside all apps)
Same issue after Oreo update on Note8 with Samsung support remote to try solving this problem. Finally, problem still remaining and Samsung suggest me to send my Note8 to service center for troubleshoot.
Even Samsung Gear users are also reporting the same:

I have been having this same issue since updating to Oreo on S8 through official AT&T update. I have tried everything shy of factory reset. My Gear S3 is basically a paper weight now. I can download the gear app from the Play Store but it won’t connect and initialize
This issue is also happening on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and it is also causing the failure of the Samsung Gear App to update which renders Samsung Gear useless after resets.
Samsung says fix on way
Worry not. The company is not only aware but will be releasing a fix for the same in the next update, going by what the moderators are claiming on the company’s official European help forum. Here’s what they said
Hi guys. The software team have got back to me on this one.
A better and more permanent solution should be coming in the next software update for you folks.

With users asking for an exact time frame for the release, the same moderator further more added
Sadly, we’re unable to provide a timescale for you folks – especially as it’s affecting a few regions. I don’t anticipate it’ll be too long a wait though.
Going by the moderator’s comments, the promised update should get rolling soon. We are keeping a close tab on all related developments and will update as and when the update gets live.
Meanwhile, the only suggested workaround is to disable the Admin app.
