Android Build and Run Won't Install app and Manual install fails

Hello,

I can use Android Remote most of the time correctly and the build and run feature works sometimes (most of the time it’s really slow to Push Content to Device, like 10 minutes slow). However recently I’ve been getting the Error “Unable to install apk!”

The console reads

I’m not sure whats going on.

I have device filter set to Armv6 and OpenGL ES 1.x

My SDK has android 2.1 and 2.2 in them while my phone has 2.2 froyo. Setting it to 2.1 loses audio for some reason.

Anyways, any ideas as to why I get this error?? Also I can’t seem to manually install the apk either. I did once (the first time) but I always get “application did not install” when using Astro or App Installer.

I use the Samsung Intercept, I don’t know if it’s fully supported but Unity remote seems to work and I HAVE gotten builds of my app to run on it before.

Thanks!:slight_smile:

just change the install access to auto

Just an explanation why this happens: preferExternal means install it to the SD card, using encrypted containers to store it on the fat32 partition. Most newer Android phones don’t have a sd card slots at all (or sd is optional), so installation there fails.

I tried to force internal, but it still gives me the same error. I have a samsung galaxy s3. I can build and transfer the file and it works, but it just won’t build and run. Logcat works too if I start it after I have opened the app on the device. I really want to find a solution, because it just saves that bit of time to just build and run.

I had a similar issue, and it seemed to be a problem with the sd card…
The solution that worked was to disconnect the phone, unmount your sd card, and then reconnect…Worked for me…

Also try another USB cable, I had one a USB cable which partially worked when pushing large data to the device.
