Android Studio: Application Installation Failed, Error Installing APKs

Question

I am trying to run my Android Studio application in the Emulator and every time I run it, it brings this message:

If I click OK, it stays installing apks and makes no progress. If I click Cancel it says

Error installing APKs.

I looked through a lot of similar errors, and have had no luck.

I also met this problem right after I wiped data on my Emulator. I didn't check the Instant Run, Clean project didn't help for me.

I suspected that something went wrong during the installation and Android Studio were not intellect enough to fix it.

So I wiped the data again and restart the Emulator, this time I wait till it's fully boot up. I then ran the project and it's just working again.

This issue is common on Some Android Devices. This can resolved by turning off MIUI optimizations from Developer Options in Settings app. Please try as follows .

In your Device Setting

Settings --> Additional settings --> Developer options --> Turn Off MIUI optimization

Or

Settings --> Developer options --> Turn Off MIUI optimization

Or **In your Android Studio ** Disable Instant Run

Android Studio > Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run
