I'm making a react native app and earlier it was working fine but now when I run "react-native run-android", after the successful install and launch, I can see two apps in the simulator and both of them are working fine.
So, any ideas why I'm seeing 2 apps or should I say why I'm getting an extra duplicate app installed?
I think you added splash screen in your app after it you have this problem, first go to this Dir: android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
if you add two time something like this
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity> -->
it will render two times and build two apps on your device.
in my file
AndroidManifest.xml
<!-- remove just first part the activity, but i comment this part -->
<!-- <activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity> -->
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The problem is due to multiple category LAUNCHER in both splash and main activity.
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
The solution with both SplashActivity and MainActivity is to change
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
to
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
in MainActivity.
The file with both .SplashActivity and .MainActivity looks like this;
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
I had this issue as well. It turns out one of RN lib I installed created an extra <activity />
and <intent-filter />
tags. Just check your AndroidManifest.xml
.

Change this
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:exported="true"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
To
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:exported="true"
/>
Basically you have two intent-filters delete one
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
To add to the answer Aras posted above, for me the issue was specifically with the extra intent-filter
attributes which were labeled 'MAIN' and 'LAUNCHER'. You can't have more than one occurrence of those without creating duplicate apps, it seems.
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<!-- You'll either want to remove this section, or ensure that it does not exist in any other activities. -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
