Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details. Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have set up your Android development environment: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html

I look at my devices

if everything was working fine and you got this error suddenly then no need to do anything just open your emulator and do wipe data. I had the same problem and fixed it by using this step.

On my android device, the problem was about the previous build versions of the application that I had installed on my phone before. the following steps solved my problem:

removing any previous build of the application, including debugging version and signed apk version
On windows: On the root directory of your project, run :


 cd android
 gradlew clean
 cd ..
 npm cache clean --force

On MacOS or Linux: On the root directory of your project, run :

 cd android
 ./gradlew clean
 cd ..

reboot your android device
run react-native run-android

After trying every answer on this thread and many others. Finally what solved it:

Go to file > invalidate caches > invalidate and restart.
Let the gradle and indexes rebuild fully
In device manager > menu > wipe data
npx react-native start --port 8084 --reset-cache
npx react-native run-android
Try to reapply hair that I have pulled out

Open android studio and check the Device Manager option if you are using a physical device then connect the device. and then run again npm run android .Your app will be running.

I also faced this issue today, tried many methods online but none of them worked. Here is how I solved this issue:

I used Android Studio to run the app in emulator, it worked. After using npx react-native run-android to run (which failed), running using Android Studio directly also failed, and I got the error INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE. This message was much more helpful than the error message from react-native. Then I assigned a bigger storage to my virtual Android phone by going to Device Manager > Device Name > Edit > Show Advanced Settings > Internal Storage. Wipe virtual device's data. Then using the react-native method can work.

1. Increase virtual device's internal storage in Android Studio
2. Wipe virtual device's data
3. Run

I solved this adding more memory to the device, I did that in this way:

Open Android studio
click More Actions and open Virtual Device Manager
Click the pencil icon
Click "Show advance settings"
Increase memory in "Internal Storage option"
Click "Finish"

For me I solved it by uninstalling the already existing app from my phone first (which I was working on the day before the day I got this issue) then building again, it happened to me a few times I think that's how I solved it always.

Step 1: Close Android Emulator.

Step 2: Open Android Virtual Device Manager and wipe data by the following image:

Step 3: Open your terminal and type

cd android
.\gradlew clean
cd ..
npm cache clean --force

Step 4: In terminal, run:

yarn run android

Note: If you are using yarn, just run:

yarn cache clean

In my case, It is problem of permissions or we can say that setting problem present inside developer options. I am using MI Note 10.To avoid this issue,permit some setting such as common one developer option and USB debugging as well as Install via USB,USB debugging(Security settings), Verify apps over USB.

As you add more modules to Android, there is an incredible demand placed on the Android build system, and the default memory settings will not work. To avoid OutOfMemory errors during Android builds, you should uncomment the alternate Gradle memory setting present in /android/gradle.properties:

# Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.
# The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings.
# Default value: -Xmx10248m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Delete the app from the device.
Edit the file (YourAppName -> android -> app -> build.gradle) enter the line below on the defaultConfig field

multiDexEnabled true

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true //this is the line you need to enter
    applicationId "xxxxxx"
    minSdkVersion xxxxx
    targetSdkVersion xxxxx
    versionCode xx
    versionName "xx"
}

rebuild the app

Since you are using Mi phone which has MIUI

try this

go to Developer options, scroll down to find 'Turn on MIUI optimization' & disable it. Your Phone will be rebooted

check now

If you are using any other android phone, which has a custom skin/UI on top of android OS, then try disabling the optimization provided by that UI and check.
(usually you can find that in 'Developer options')

Just go to the Developer option in your phone and disable and again enable usb debugging. It will work.

In my case, I had the app downloaded from PlayStore and I was trying to debug the APK with the same name. I just uninstalled the app and debugged successfully.

I had this issue. Mine worked on the emulator well but it didn't work on the device and the error was

app:installDebug FAILED.

If you have a different app with the same name (or package name) on the device: Rename the app or delete it from your device.

In my case (with React Native), my Android phone was unrecognized by my PC where I was running the server, which can be seen by the message:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:installDebug'.
> com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: No online devices found.

If that is the case, as highlighted in ADB Android Device Unauthorized, make sure that in Developer Options on your phone USB Debugging is set to true, and enter the following commands in terminal or cmd to restart the Android server.

adb kill-server
adb start-server

And adb devices should list your phone as device instead of unauthorized
