In my case I was using third party library, I have removed that library from gradle and reinstall the app. Successful

Answer 11

Chech to manifest file and search for a required library tag. And delete it. I solve it by this way.

Answer 12

I was trying everything but nothing seemed to work. But then I suddenly noticed that my phone blocked installation, so I unchecked "reject this to install" and at the another try the security checkbox popup, asking for letting the installation. After allowing everything worked. Conclusion: I just were probably too angry that i didn't noticed this popup earlier.

Answer 13

Just check in the AndroidManifest.xml file to make sure you are using permission and libraries that you need for your app. In some cases you may have wearable libraries and permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml file and yet you do not need them. This happened to me when I was adding more activities and Android Studio was creating them as Wearable Activities

我正在尝试答案中的每一件事，但只有一种解决方案只是在手机上释放一些空间以正确安装 debagged 应用程序。

Answer 15

I had this problem at one point in time. the only solution that worked for me was to delete the SDK and download a new vision. It turned out that ADB had a problem and it was not able to detect my device. uninstalling the SDK and installing another resolved the problem for me

Answer 16

As I am currently using IntelliJ IDEA 2021, In order to work for me, I had to disconnect android device(Emulator) to Computer by USB and Free up some space on phone storage Lastly It was to refresh my device by restarting it(phone)

Again, I had to go to:

Settings, Debugger, And Check Hide debug Window on process termination

I hope this helps, if U are using IntelliJ IDEA, for instance.

Answer 17

创建一个签名的 apk 并将该 apk 拖动到模拟设备，这对我有用

Answer 18

For me, restarting the Android Studio solved the issue.

File> Invalidate Cache / Restart

Answer 19

Tip: run from terminal adb install path/to/app.apk

Why? Cause it will give more information about the error - actually pointing to the place in manifest with the error. For example - in my case it was: 'Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present]'

Answer 20

Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present.

 <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
           android:exported="true">
      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
      </intent-filter>
 </activity>
