Android Studio Local path doesn't exist (classes folder instead of apk)

Question

Hello I am having this error

Uploading file
    local path: C:\Users\myuser\AndroidStudioProjects\Myapp\build\classes\debug\Myapp.apk
    remote path: /data/local/tmp/mypackage
Local path doesn't exist.

when uploading to my device. I see that Myapp.apk gets created in apk folder as it should be. But Android Studio tries to upload from classes\debug\

Do you know how to sort it out? Thanks

Answer 1

If you are using studio on Windows and your windows username contains special symbols like '&' - RENAME YOUR USERNAME (and user folder)!

Answer 2

Alternatively you can go to Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files to restore the path.

Answer 3

I just blogged about having the exact same problem. Hopefully this helps and works for you.

I fixed my similar problem by opening up the project .iml file and edited the incorrect APK_PATH declaration
