In my situation, eclipse was opened with ADT installed, so when I closed eclipse, the problem was gone.

I found out that in my workplace the people who were facing this problem have only read permission on their computer USB port has and not write permission. After getting USB write permission from admin the problem is no longer occurring.

You may get some troubles if you have introduced sharedUserId in an update of the existing app. Check this Blog for more information.

Try this. Navigate to Settings -> Application settings (location may depend on your device). Here, check Install from unknown sources. Hope it will help.
