Android Studio [Install_Failed_Insufficient_Storage]

Question

I have a problem with installing an apk of my app on my phone from Android Studio. Every time i tried i got this error message:

09/10 22:40:00: Launching app
$ adb push C:\Users\pokef\AndroidStudioProjects\Runescape\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk /data/local/tmp/com.myapps.myproductions.rsstats.
$ adb shell pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.myapps.myproductions.rsstats."
pkg: /data/local/com.myapps.myproductions.rsstats.
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]


$ adb shell pm uninstall com.myapps.myproductions.rsstats.
DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR
Error while Installing APK

I know there are a lot of threads out there talking about this problem, but Ive already tried everything. Im certain i have enough storage, i cleared all caches, i uninstalled all previous versions, i changed the manifest to "android:installLocation="preferExternal" , i restarted my phone etc, so please dont mark this as a duplicate.

This problem only happens since i changed the package path from com.example.myapp etc. to com.myapps.myproductions.rsstats. Im sure that I correctly adapted all paths in the files to this location. What else could I try?

Answer 1

This happens when you have installed many versions of different apps on the virtual device.
Just stop the device. Open AVD Manager and right click on the device > Wipe Data .
like in the pic.

Answer 2

How much storage do you have free? The system won't let the free storage space go below 200-300MB. Also, please don't end your package name with a dot(this may be the issue, but the error message suggests otherwise)

Answer 3

Since you claim to have enough storage free on the phone ( I would recommend to have at least 500MB free ) As suggested also by Aenadon, the problem could be the "." at the end of the package name.

Google suggests to name the packages with a reverse URL. for example:

com.mycompanyname.appname

by no means should end with a dot.

Answer 4

I was having this issue in my device with 64 GB internal storage with 1.3 GB free. I solved it simply doing my internal storage free by

deleting about 1 GB videos

because already the installed apps was not useless.

Answer 5

我得到了 INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE 并且解决方案是卸载应用程序然后重新安装它 - 问题是由不同版本的应用程序引起的。

Answer 6

Check your device storage space on which you are installing your app.
Delete some data if space is running out.
It happens because when you write bytes the size of that file became very large and thus this error occur (i am getting this error)
