Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]

Question

When I click to run a project I just created in Android Studio 0.2.10 and select my Android (connected by USB with debug by USB on) I get this error:

Waiting         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem but none of the solutions worked for me. The problem was that I had no . separators in my package name.
i.e. if your package name is my.packagename its fine but it can't be just mypackagename
Got the hint from this bug report.

Answer 2

I tried most above offered solutions (the simple ones, not those offering chmod and altering internal libraries) and none of them work

Eventually what worked for me was: "Clean Project" -> "Rebuild Project" -> changed the app versionName in the build.gradle app module -> Sync Gradle -> Run the app on the device

Answer 3

You can get this error if the minSdkVersion in builde.gradle is bigger than the device's Android version. In that case you have to modify the minSdkVersion.

Answer 4

delete code in AndroidManifest.xml:

tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory" android:appComponentFactory=""

it works.

Answer 5

I had this problem on android Studio because in my Debug build i've added version name suffix -DEBUG and the - was the problem.

Try to only have letters, numbers and dots on your version names and application ids

Answer 6

The cause of this problem for me was having the wrong build variant selected for one of my app's modules. From the "Build Variants" tool, I selected the module variant which matched the app module, and it fixed the issue for me.
