My application throws an exception when I install the apk on an existing version.

These are the steps to reproduce my error:

  1. Install application (i.e. v1) and run it (no error found)
  2. Install the same apk or a new one (i.e. v2) with a minor update
  3. A NullReferenceException is thrown
  4. Install the same apk of #2
  5. Everything works fine

This is the exception:
