'Android Studio Error "Installation did not succeed. The application could not be installed. Installation failed due to: 'null'"
I am trying to run my app on my Xiaomi RedMi S2 from Android Studio 3.5. It throws an error while installing the app on the phone:
Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed.
Installation failed due to: 'null'
REAL DEVICE: XIAOMI REDMI S2

1.Open run/debug configuration dialog:- Run> edit configurations.
- Navigate to You app > General > Installation Options > Install Flags.
- add install flags
-r -t.
Note: This flags means adb install -r -t apk path
I hope this will help.

Restarting the device after enabling developer mode and allowing usb debugging did the trick for me.
Solution 3:[3]
For me, restarting the Android Studio solved the issue.
File> Invalidate Cache / Restart
Solution 4:[4]
- You has installed the app which has same package name with different debug signature file.
- The different signature file lead to the fault
- At first please uninstall the apk that you has installed with different signature file?
- Then you install the apk again ,You'll sucess!

Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present.
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

When you connect the mobile, it starts in the charging mode. Simply change the mode to Transfer Mode (Transfer Media or photos mode).
Now install the app again and it will work.

It may be because of your phone's memory is full. you can delete some data from your phone and then try. for me it worked.
Solution 8:[8]
A simple (unintended) restart to the computer did it for me (I tried to run on emulator)
Solution 9:[9]
Add this line to your '/gradle.properties':
# gradle.properties
android.injected.testOnly=false
Check https://gist.github.com/xujiaao/5fd127a72979cdc3c70dcc1324786f87 ,it work for me.

Just use in this link. Disable Preference -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Debugger -> Use libusb backend
Uncheck Use libusb backend
that's all. Enjoy your coding...

Tip: run from terminal adb install path/to/app.apk
Why? Cause it will give more information about the error - actually pointing to the place in manifest with the error. For example - in my case it was: 'Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present]'

In my case I was using third party library, I have removed that library from gradle and reinstall the app. Successful
Solution 13:[13]
Chech to manifest file and search for a required library tag. And delete it. I solve it by this way.
Solution 14:[14]
I was trying everything but nothing seemed to work. But then I suddenly noticed that my phone blocked installation, so I unchecked "reject this to install" and at the another try the security checkbox popup, asking for letting the installation. After allowing everything worked. Conclusion: I just were probably too angry that i didn't noticed this popup earlier.
Solution 15:[15]
Just check in the AndroidManifest.xml file to make sure you are using permission and libraries that you need for your app. In some cases you may have wearable libraries and permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml file and yet you do not need them. This happened to me when I was adding more activities and Android Studio was creating them as Wearable Activities

I'm trying every thing from the answers but only one solution is just free some space on your phone for proper install the debagged app.
Solution 17:[17]
I had this problem at one point in time. the only solution that worked for me was to delete the SDK and download a new vision. It turned out that ADB had a problem and it was not able to detect my device. uninstalling the SDK and installing another resolved the problem for me
Solution 18:[18]
Create a signed apk and drag that apk to the emulated device, that worked for me
Solution 19:[19]
go to the path of your debug apk, and rename of your apk like :
myApp.apk to myApp1.apk(just rename it) and try to run it again.
its works for me every time :)
Solution 20:[20]
TRY THIS!
- Delete the build folder in your App and re-build the project, it should work now.
Solution 21:[21]

As I am currently using IntelliJ IDEA 2021, In order to work for me, I had to disconnect android device(Emulator) to Computer by USB and Free up some space on phone storage Lastly It was to refresh my device by restarting it(phone)
Again, I had to go to:
Settings, Debugger, And Check Hide debug Window on process termination
I hope this helps, if U are using IntelliJ IDEA, for instance.
Solution 23:[23]
I resolved the problem by switching off the emulator, clean the project and rebuild it again.
Solution 24:[24]
Its because the devie on which you want to install the app does not have enough space, just clear some items to get space. Then try agian
Solution 25:[25]
You might wana check your phone storage too. Your apk wouldn't install if there is no space
