Meteor 1.3.3. Build error with android-device

Question

This is my first question on stackoverflow so I'll try to be as specific as possible.

I'm currently developing a hybrid app using Meteor and its Cordova integration. This is my very first app with Meteor and I use a Mac Mini for dev (1,4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 Gb ram).

My first builds for Android device were perfectly working in the begining, then I continued the days after with dev builds on iPhone (which were and are still fine). I recently tried to deploy on Android device and it wont build anymore.

I searched the web about my issue but couldn't find anything.

This is the error message I'm getting:

Did I miss something that might be obvious to some of you guys?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Ok I just found some topic on this very site which helped me out for my build issue ... Here is the link : Cordova : Unable to install apk after upgrading android to 5.1.1 Nexus 5 … . It was related to the fact that my Android OS was updated between working and failing builds. Here's what put me back on tracks:

{ [CordovaError: Failed to install apk to device: pkg:
   /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk
   Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]]
   name: 'CordovaError',
   message: 'Failed to install apk to device: pkg:
   /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk\r\nFailure [...]

What you have to do when you encounter the kind of error I faced is to delete the app from your device before building it again.
