Before making the build, check if you have instant run enabled or not. It is enabled by default and can be found under File -> Settings -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Instant Run

Disable it and then try rebuilding the apk. Check comments and answers here

Now, if you are building a release apk and you have selected Signature Version V2(Full APK Signature), in the generate signed apk dialog, app might not install after the build is made.

You need to re-generate a signed apk with both the signature versions enabled i.e V1 & V2. You will get this option under Build -> Generate Signed APK.

Combining this with the disable instant run thing, your apk should install smoothly.
