Adb install failure: INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER

Question

I try to install app via adb and get a error:

$ ./adb -d install /Users/dimon/Projects/one-place/myprogram/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk -r -g
3704 KB/s (4595985 bytes in 1.211s)
    pkg: /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk
Failure [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER]

In device I do nothing in this moment. Device is Xiaomi MI5, MIUI 7.2.13, Android 6.0. Developer mode enabled. How to fix this?

The same error I get when try to run "ionic run android" command.

UPD

Here is logs from 'adb logcat' command getting in moment of installation program:

I see when android-debug.apk creates, but I don't understand why it's not installs. Maybe the key strings is:

06-06 10:04:21.066  4553  4553 W asset   : Asset path /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk is neither a directory nor file (type=0).
06-06 10:04:21.066  4553  4553 D AdbInstallActivity:  parsePackage is null , path ：/data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk

but this is not error strings, just warning and debug. Also strange line:

06-06 10:04:21.059  1497  2996 E ActivityManager: Invalid thumbnail dimensions: 0x0

but I don't know if it is a problem.

Also I tried to install via adb some other apps, not only self-written. But no results.

Answer 1

The same trouble with same device has been here.

So, it's Xiaomi trouble, and here is a solution for this problem:

1. Go to the "Security" application and tap "Options" at top right corner

2. Scroll down to "Feature Settings" group, and look for "Permissions"

3. At there switch off "Install via USB" option, which manages installation of the apps via USB and doesn't allow it.

On Latest Redmi Device

Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Developer options: Check the Install via USB option .

Good luck!

Answer 2

Faced the same Issue in MI devices and figured out the problem by following these Steps :

1) Go to Setting

2) Click on Additional Settings

3) Click on Developer Options

4) Click toggle of Install via USB to enable it

and the issue will be resolved.

Answer 3

在 MIUI 8 中，转到开发人员设置并切换“通过 USB 安装”以启用它。

Answer 4

For Redmi and Mi devices turn off MIUI Optimization

Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > MIUI Optimization

Answer 5

For Mi or Xiaomi Device

1) Setting

2) Additional Setting

3) Developer option

4) Install via USB : Toggle On

It is working fine for me.

Note : Not working then try following options also

1) Sign to MI account (Not applicable to all devices)

2) Also Disable Turn on MIUI optimization : Setting -> Additional Setting -> Developer Option, near bottom we will get this option.

3) Developer option must be enabled and Link for enabling developer option: Description here

Still not working?

-> signed out from Mi Account and then created new account and enable USB Debugging.

Thanks

Turn off Miui Optimizations on Developer Settings, then Restart the phone. it worked for me. Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > MIUI Optimization

Answer 9

I had the same problem before. Here was my solution:

1. Go to Setting → find Developer options in System , and click.
2. TURN ON install via USB in the Debuging section.
3. Try Run app in Android Studio again!

Answer 10

I tried all the steps described above but failed.

Like, connect to the internet with Data connection , Turning off the MIUI optimization and reboot , Turning on Install via USB from Security settings etc.

Then I found a solution.

Steps:

• Install PlexVPN .
• set China-Shanghai server
• Try turning on Install via USB from Developer option.

That's all.

Answer 11

1. 在开发人员模式下禁用“通过 USB 验证应用程序”选项并尝试再次安装。它应该像链接https://stackoverflow.com/a/29742394/2559990 中指出的那样工作。

Answer 12

For MIUI OS Device

On Xiaomi Mi5s with MIUI8.3 (Android 6) Xiaomi.EU Rom:

Settings/ Other Settings / Developer Options / Switch on: Allow USB Debug, Allow USB install and Allow USB Debug (Security options)

{Sorry for the translation, my device has spanish}

Answer 14

In addition, any app lock password should be removed by SETTINGS>APP LOCK ,enter the set password and remove the lock. This worked for me on REDMI 4A

Answer 15

One more thing: after some updates of MIUI developer mode becomes disabled. I was sure, that is was turned on, but i couldn't start the application. So i reenabled developer mode and everything started to work. I've encountered this problem several times. Hope it helps.

Answer 16

Sometimes the application is bad generated: bad signed or bad aligned and report a mistake.

Check your jarsigner and zipaligned commands.

Answer 17

Im using Xiaomi Redmi Prime 3S, Non of the above method worked for me. This frustrated me

what i tried was, i signed out from Mi Account and then created new account. tada... after that i can enable USB Debugging. Hope this helps.

Answer 18

If your switch Install by USB on and you are getting "the device is temporarily restricted" error, then apply any of the default mobile themes. If any other developer theme is applied then it will not Allow you to switch Install by USB on. This works for me.

Answer 19

For anyone on MIUI 13 and above - MIUI Optimization option is hidden, so you have to go to Developer Options -> Reset to default values and press it multiple times so that MIUI Optimization appears - only then you can disable it.

Answer 20

This is my case (using react-native ) I press Ctr+C to interrupt while installing and after that this error occured. - solution:

cd android
./gradlew clean

Answer 21
