    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/logo_only"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

    <activity

        android:noHistory="true"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

Answer 1

Many devices not work with instant run with debug mode so follow below steps

Disable instant run -

1. Click setting in file menu and search instant run and unchecked all check boxes and build apk again.

Also Disable proguard in debug mode.

debug {
            minifyEnabled false
            useProguard false 

        }

Answer 2

Disable proguard and try

In your app level build.gradle file,

android {

    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "in.thoughtsmith.jobsmith"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            minifyEnabled false
            useProguard false <-------------------------------
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
            versionNameSuffix "-debug"
        }
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            useProguard true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }
}
