How to fix Failure “INSTALL PARSE FAILED NO CERTIFICATES” for Appium & Python?

Question

I am making an automation script to automate a Real SMartphone Android 8.1:

Environment

Python 3.7 Windows 10 64Bits Build-tools 29.0.3 java version "1.8.0_241" Appium 1.17.1 Node v12.15.0 sdkmanager 4.0.1 ADB (Android Debug Bridge) version 1.0.41 Version 30.0.3-6597393

When I run my script, I get these error message:

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
 --> We can't open Instagram. Please check if device is connected. Let's try again!
Message: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Performing Push Install
C:\Users\Nino\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-uiautomator2-server\apks\appium-uiautomator2-server-debug-androidTest.apk: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 87.8 MB/s (470052 bytes in 0.005s)

Appium log file:

https://github.com/gauthierbuttez/public/blob/master/appium_issue04082020.log

What I've tried:

I added this desired capability: desired_caps['remoteAppsCacheLimit'] = 0 It didn't help.

I reset factory my Android device but it didn't help.

Does anyone already faced this issue?

Try to add noSign: true to capabilities. It might help.

I also suggest manually removing Appium Settings and Instagram apps before starting a new session.
