INSTALL_FAILED_EAS_POLICY_REJECTED_PERMISSION?

Everytime i try to launch my APP Im getting this error in the Console

I dont know what this error means and what to do to resolve it. I have tried Google "INSTALL_FAILED_EAS_POLICY_REJECTED_PERMISSION" but I have only found one who had the same problem when we wanted to root his phone.

I don't want that, I'm just trying to install and run my app, to test if it works?

I would appreciate if anyone could tell me in what direction I should look!

I have found the solution: I tried to export the APK file and discovered that it was my Corporate Email which was the problem. When I install my Corporate Email (Outlook / Exchange activesync) the phone / tablet get some a security policy from my company which disables "Unknown sources" in the Security settings. "Unknown sources" was greyed out so I could not enable it.

To solve this I removed my corporate email account from the device and the policy and THEN I was able to enable "Unknown Sources" and THEN I could finally install my APP directly from Eclipse or manually export and install the APK file.

This gives me a new problem. Now I can't read corporate email on my phone :-( If I install the policy again, then I cant install APK files on my phone :-(

You might have the same problem if you use KNOX which is standard on new Samsung Galaxy Devices.
