The application could not be installed , Android Studio

This problem specifically arises on Redmi Note 7 Pro and Note 9 Pro, I tested it on Pixel XL emulator and everything worked fine. But in my phone, this error occurs when I run the testConfiguration, the app configuration installs the app properly.

Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed.
List of apks:
[0] 'D:\andfun-kotlin-sleep-tracker-Step.03-Solution-Create-RoomDatabase\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk'
Installation failed due to: ''cmd package install-create -r -t --user current --full --dont-kill -t -g -S 3932461' returns error 'Unknown failure: Security exception: You need the android.permission.INSTALL_GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS permission to use the PackageManager.INSTALL_GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS flag
java.lang.SecurityException: You need the android.permission.INSTALL_GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS permission to use the PackageManager.INSTALL_GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS flag

I really can't understand why this error occurs only when running the test config.
I have spent 2 hours trying to figure this out, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think the test.kt code will be needed but if you need any other information please do tell me.

This may not help, but atleast to share some experience on installation failures.

I use to encounter these types of errors when I'm running en emulator that doesn't reach my minimumSdk settings.

I just searched online and found that Xiaomi devices have two developer options to be enabled for USB debugging they are

Developer options -> USB debugging Developer options -> USB debugging (Security Settings)

Ensure if you enabled both the options in your device.
