Recently while working on a SharePoint hosted add-in I got the below error which says:
Error occurred in deployment step ‘Install SharePoint Add-in’: A different version of this App is already installed with the same version number. You need to delete the app from the site and the site recycle bin to install this version.
Skipping the uninstall step because the SharePoint Add-in is in an invalid state and cannot be uninstalled.

The full error looks like below:
Solution:
We can change the version number to solve the issue. Here I have changed the version number to 1.0.0.1.
Then I tried deploying from visual studio and it worked fine for me.
Another approach:
$instances = Get-SPAppInstance -Web “UR Site URL”
$instance = $instances | where {$_.Title -eq ‘Name of the App’}
Uninstall-SPAppInstance -Identity $instance
Hope this will be helpful.
