I'm getting the following error when running my flutter project on Android Emulator. It works fine on iOS Simulator and the project is also fine on my other Mac (runs on both Android and iOS Simulator)

Error: ADB exited with exit code 1 Performing Streamed Install

adb: failed to install /Users/xxxx/Dropbox/Flutter/test_app/build/app/outputs/apk/app.apk: Error launching application on Android SDK built for x86.

I've cleaned my project and reset my emulator but no luck. It only affects my mac book pro android build.

Flutter doctor also shows no issues

I know two reasons that lead to this error :

  • Maybe your device/emulator's storage is full. try deleting some apps or similar to free up storage.

Or

  • Invalid package name . for example, using a capital letter in the package name. use this to change package name in flutter

  • The project name is ok: ```com.example.myproj``` Can I have a capital letter in my app name? Could that be the problem? ```io.flutter.app.MyApp``` Or could the problem be that the main directory name under which the app was created is with a capital letter? ```C:\dev\Myapp\myapp\build\app\outputs...``` – pashute Aug 22 '19 at 03:23

    yup, my device storage is full. I have to delete some files and then restart my device – sarah Feb 13 '21 at 04:04
  • You can find out which problem you have by running `flutter run -v` – Youssef Ahmed Jun 08 '22 at 10:41

Terminal commands for solution

(worth trying quickly before attempting more complex solutions)

Run this command to clean out your build/dependencies:

flutter clean

Then run this command to fetch your dependencies again:

flutter pub get

Now try running your project!

Allow 'installing apps from usb' on your phone if you get this error on physical device

This error will appear when your device hasn't enough storage for installing the application if you work with Flutter, the android studio doesn't tell the exact problem.

For me, everything worked after I deleted the build directory inside my flutter project. The build should have the app.apk binary file.

  1. Delete that file or delete the whole build folder and run your project.
  2. If that doesn't work, just delete your AVD emulator completely and start a new one.

I fixed my error by running below code lines because Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] is mentioned in the error

  1. flutter clean
  2. flutter pub cache repair
  3. flutter run

This problem is mainly due insufficient space because over the time your device collects many logs and cache many stuff.

Try following solutions and one of them could resolve your problem.

Solution 1

Run flutter clean and flutter pub get.

Solution 2

Try removing some apps or disable some services from your device/emulator. As last resort you can simply create new emulator with more space and memory.

Solution 3

Make sure your package name is correct and you are following conventions as per Dart/Flutter.

It usually happens with Emulator. Easiest way is to go Andorid Studio > ADB devices. Click on the dropdown arrow on the right side of the emulator name and choose Wipe data.

I have been struggling with this off and on for a year, here is what I just noticed that makes it work or not work on my system.

I discovered tonight that if I have my virus protection running my emulator stalls in the
" ---> Built build\app\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk. and I just get a white screen. I turn off the virus protection and it works fine in debug mode. If its on I have to keep going to the terminal and doing: " flutter run " to see any changes I have made. Maybe this will help someone.

I resolved these issues using these steps .I am using BlueStack Emulator for running Emulator.

Steps:-

  1. Go to setting of BlueStack Emulator
  2. Then click on Advance and then
  3. Turn on Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

I resolved these issues using these steps.

Google service scans apk and consider it harmful and block from installation

Disable/ turn off the google service app scan. in your emulator

If you have previously installed apps on your Android Emulator,
Try uninstalling some already installed apps from the Android Emulator by going to...

Settings >> Apps & notifications >> app_to_be_uninstalled >> Uninstall

It worked for me :)

To debug this, on Android Studio, open the Logcat tab. You will get a ton of messages, but somewhere in there will be the answer.

For example, if the package name is invalid, you will see:

W/ActivityManager: Invalid packageName: your.bad.package.name

Try using the search field in the upper right of the logcat window to filter the messages.

Also, you need to make sure that the device you are working with is selected in the target dropdown at the top of the window. Often, if you get this error, Android Studio will automatically remove your device from the target list and switch it to a different device. You might have to unplug and plug back in your USB cable to get it to appear again. Then select it, and open the Logcat tab at the bottom. The messages from the previous session will be saved and you can look through them.

For me, I had the app already installed on the device. Once I deleted it, and then tried to install via adb again, it worked!
