I try to install app via adb and get a error:

$ ./adb -d install /Users/dimon/Projects/one-place/myprogram/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk -r -g
3704 KB/s (4595985 bytes in 1.211s)
    pkg: /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk
Failure [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER]

In device I do nothing in this moment. Device is Xiaomi MI5, MIUI 7.2.13, Android 6.0. Developer mode enabled. How to fix this?

The same error I get when try to run "ionic run android" command.

UPD

Here is logs from 'adb logcat' command getting in moment of installation program:

I see when android-debug.apk creates, but I don't understand why it's not installs. Maybe the key strings is:

06-06 10:04:21.066  4553  4553 W asset   : Asset path /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk is neither a directory nor file (type=0).
06-06 10:04:21.066  4553  4553 D AdbInstallActivity:  parsePackage is null , path ：/data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk

but this is not error strings, just warning and debug. Also strange line:

06-06 10:04:21.059  1497  2996 E ActivityManager: Invalid thumbnail dimensions: 0x0

but I don't know if it is a problem.

Also I tried to install via adb some other apps, not only self-written. But no results.

Do you have the app already installed on your phone? If so, uninstall first, and try again. Another option is to use adb install -r /path/to/apk/file.apk, which will install over the app if it already exists. – KhoPhi
I tried to uninstall it, and tried to use adb install -r, but it not helped me. – Dmitry Skryabin
Were you able to solve this? – gaurav jain
Hello Dmitry Skryabin, I have the same phone and have the same problem as you. I cannot adb install anything on the phone. Unknown sources is ON and I can install apps from storage to device, but I cannot debug apps from Android Studio or Xamarin. I feel it is an OS/Xiaomi Mi5 thing. Going to head over to the Xiaomi forums to ask this same question. – Yudhistre
@Yudhistre, thanks for you comment. I have temporary switched to debug on IPhone emulator, it's enough for my purposes. – Dmitry Skryabin

The same trouble with same device has been here.

So, it's Xiaomi trouble, and here is a solution for this problem:

  1. Go to the "Security" application and tap "Options" at top right corner

  2. Scroll down to "Feature Settings" group, and look for "Permissions"

  3. At there switch off "Install via USB" option, which manages installation of the apps via USB and doesn't allow it.

On Latest Redmi Device

Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Developer options: Check the Install via USB option.

Good luck!

For Mi or Xiaomi Device

1) Setting

2) Additional Setting

3) Developer option

4) Install via USB: Toggle On

It is working fine for me.

Note: Not working then try following options also

1) Sign to MI account (Not applicable to all devices)

2) Also Disable Turn on MIUI optimization: Setting -> Additional Setting -> Developer Option, near bottom we will get this option.

3) Developer option must be enabled and Link for enabling developer option: Description here

Still not working?

-> signed out from Mi Account and then created new account and enable USB Debugging.

Thanks

  2. TURN ON install via USB in the Debuging section.
  3. Try Run app in Android Studio again!

I tried all the steps described above but failed.

Like, connect to the internet with Data connection, Turning off the MIUI optimization and reboot, Turning on Install via USB from Security settings etc.

Then I found a solution.

Steps:

  • Install PlexVPN.
  • set China-Shanghai server
  • Try turning on Install via USB from Developer option.

That's all.

One more thing: after some updates of MIUI developer mode becomes disabled. I was sure, that is was turned on, but i couldn't start the application. So i reenabled developer mode and everything started to work. I've encountered this problem several times. Hope it helps.

Sometimes the application is bad generated: bad signed or bad aligned and report a mistake.

Check your jarsigner and zipaligned commands.

If your switch Install by USB on and you are getting "the device is temporarily restricted" error, then apply any of the default mobile themes. If any other developer theme is applied then it will not Allow you to switch Install by USB on. This works for me.
