Android Question Problems with intent INSTALL_PACAKGE pre Android 12

We have a self updater. Once the APK file is downloaded from our private website we start an activity to install it.
When this runs on Android 12 it works perfectly.
When this runs on Android 10 we are getting "There was a problem parsing the package" during install.

Yet on the same Android 10 tablet we are able to manually uninstall the app, download the APK with a browser, and open it and the installer works perfectly.

Why does the intent have issue, but when invoked from the file system it does not?
