Error: ADB exited with exit code 1 Performing Streamed Install

Question

I'm receiving the following error while running flutter run on some projects, however, on other projects it works fine:

ADB: failed to install /Users/rahama/development/flutter_uber_clone/build/app/outputs/apk/app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
Error launching the application on Android SDK built for x86.

It's just the flutter demo project, I haven't made any changes to it.

Answer 1

Actually, the answer lies in the error message of your question:

[ADB: failed to install /Users/rahama/development/flutter_uber_clone/build/app/outputs/apk/app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] Error launching the application on Android SDK built for x86.]

Your Emulator is running out of space, clear its cache:

1. Click on AVD Manager
2. Wipe Data (Your Target Device )

You are set to go..

Answer 2

Flutter had a new update (I think last night), run flutter upgrade in the terminal and it should work fine (at least that did it for me).

Docs: To update both the Flutter SDK and the packages that your app depends on, use the flutter upgrade command from the root of your app (the same directory that contains the pubspec.yaml file)

https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/upgrading

Answer 3

Although I don't have any other apps installed on my emulator, when I install the flutter app, I get the same error.

I found that the storage space of the emulator is indeed not enough. Because when I created the emulator, the default was only 1024M. When I changed the storage space of the emulator to 4096M, the problem was solved.

Answer 4

this common problem with the Emulator and all you need to clear the Emulator cache . in my case it was the solution...

1- open AVD Manger.

2- click on the (bottom arrow) that beside (Edit) button.

3- choose Wipe Data.

Answer 5

In my case, it was caused by an adb glitch, not a flutter problem.

This was solved by doing a combination of the following, not sure which step fixed it exactly

1. Reset adb server on desktop, macOS in mycase: adb kill-server , and then adb start-server
2. Reset USB debugging on the mobile device.
3. Restarted the device.

None of the existing answers worked for me, so it wasn't a flutter problem. A plain adb install any.apk didn't work. So I narrowed it down to an adb/usb issue.

Answer 6

Note: Following is answer for stuck at Performing Streamed Install by adb install xxx.apk :

phenomenon

use adb install xxx.apk and showing Performing Streamed Install but stuck, hang forever.

Have tried

• re-plug USB cable
• change USB adapter
• change USB cable
• reboot PC(Mac)
• reboot android phone
• restart VSCode
• make adb command shorter
  • from: adb -s hxxxxxxxxs install -r /Users/limao/dev/xxx/crawler/appAutoCrawler/AppCrawler/task/20201202_xxx_0192LeiMoChuanShuo/20201202_xxx_0192LeiMoChuanShuo_gameApp_Android/20201202_xxx_0192LeiMoChuanShuo_gameApp_Android_0.apk
  • to: adb -s hxxxxxxxxs install -r /var/folders/gt/5868sbcd1jq4rxvryqhy2_1sz8n0s3/T/tmpq3ypjfgd/20201202_xxx_0192LeiMoChuanShuo_gameApp_Android_0.apk
• tried adb shell pm install but not support
• etc...

all not work.

Final solution

update (original old version 29.0.5 ) adb to latest version ( 30.0.5 )

Q: how to update adb to latest version

A:

• goto

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

to download your platform adb

• 下载适用于 Windows 的 SDK Platform-Tools
• 下载适用于 Mac 的 SDK Platform-Tools
• 下载适用于 Linux 的 SDK Platform-Tools

or:

goto

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/

to download:

• windows
  • https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
• Mac
  • https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
• Linux
  • https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip

unzip to got folder platform-tools

add the folder to your PATH variable

eg:

vi ~/.zshrc

PATH=/Users/limao/dev/tools/android/adb/platform-tools:$PATH

Answer 7

就我而言，这是通过更新 android studio 和所有 flutter 和 dart 插件解决的。

Answer 8

Go to File>> invalidate caches

Answer 9

I was having the same issue with a physical device connected via wifi, then I figured out what was wrong. The battery of my device was below 15%, it worked as expected after charging. So, keep an eye on the battery status if you're working with a physical device via wifi.

Answer 10

Sometimes it can work by uninstalling your app and and all it's data then try again,

another fix is to send the apk you are trying to install from projectname/build/app/outputs/apk and to your device and install it and try again .

Answer 11

Run in terminal

$ flutter clean

and then

$ flutter pub get

and then

$ flutter packages get

then

$ flutter run

Answer 12

By this way I resolved this issues on BlueStack . Do these steps for running android applications on BlueStack Emulator.

Go to setting of BlueStack Emulator

Then click on Advance and then
Turn on Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

Answer 13

I experienced this same problem on a physical device, tried all solution i could see out there but none worked.

What worked at the end of the day was to ensure my device API version was also installed in the android studio.

Answer 14

Forewords

This question gets the first result from Google, so my answer covers a bit different error.

The error in question has [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] code. My answer is for any Performing Streamed Install error that does not specifically define [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] code.

My Environment

• KDE Neon 5.24 (aka Ubuntu 20.04 but latest KDE stuff)
• Visual Studio Code from Snap (I use this mainly)
• Android Studio from Snap (I use this to install SDK, Platform Tools and Build Tools)

Troubleshooting

The problem is this globally installed /usr/bin/adb overrides the adb that Flutter uses. As you know, Ubuntu has many outdated packages (to protect their system's stability). ADB is one of them. So, if you try to do:

adb kill-server
adb start-server

You will highly likely get an output similar to below:

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
ADB server didn't ACK
Full server startup log: /tmp/adb.1000.log
Server had pid: 12668
--- adb starting (pid 12668) ---

adb server killed by remote request

* failed to start daemon
error: cannot connect to daemon

In some flutter run sessions, I've got an output similar to "adb server version (whatever) does not match the client (whatever); killing". That's when I had the doubt maybe I have installed adb globally. Check this:

which adb
# /usr/bin/adb
# This is a sign that this adb might be globally installed.
# This must be a symlink. Just to make sure, I do the following...

realpath /usr/bin/adb
# /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools
# This is the evidence that it has been installed globally.

So, we use an outdated version of adb , which does not match the target device's adb server.

Solution

So, we need to get rid of this global adb first.

⚠ Warning

If you use adb from terminal, what we are going to do will remove it. You can add your {SDK PATH}/platform-tools where SDK PATH is where you have installed SDK to get it back.

Simply do:

sudo apt remove android-sdk android-sdk-common android-sdk-build-tools android-sdk-build-tools-common android-sdk-platform-tools android-sdk-platform-tools-common

However, doing these actually does not remove adb from the system. It still lays there for some reason, so, for the last step, we do:

# simply backup our symlink
sudo mv /usr/bin/adb /usr/bin/adb.bak

# and backup global android-sdk tools
sudo mv /usr/lib/android-sdk /usr/lib/android-sdk.bak

After these steps, you can restart your editor and try again. If you want to make double sure, you can optionally do (while your editor's closed):

# clean the build artifacts
flutter clean

# reinstall the packages because we have cleared them
flutter pub get
flutter pub get packages

Android 12 requires you to add a piece of code to your main activity

Go to your project folder and open the AndroidManifest.xml file

Add the below code in the activity

android:exported="true"
