UNINSTALL your app manually from device or run below command in adb command line

adb uninstall com.app.app

It may be installed with different signature. You need to uninstall previous app.

You can check in Settings>>Apps

Answer 3

For someone facing this issue on MI / Xiaomi Phones, the solution is as follows:

Step 1: Check if installation from unknown sources is enabled:

Go to Settings-> Additional settings-> Privacy-> Unknown sources

Step 2: Goto "Developer options", then enable "Verify apps over USB" in Debugging section.

Step 3: In the "Developer options" itself, enable "Install via USB" option.

If above all the options are in place and if you are still not able to install the app:

Step 4: Settings --> Additional settings --> Developer options --> Turn Off MIUI optimization Disable this option, a dialog will pop-up to restart the device and apply changes.

Answer 4

I noticed that when using Marshmallow (Android 6.0+) there is a problem with the new "com.google.android.gms" play services version 8.3.0 . I would recommend using the 8.1.0 version - that solved the problem in my case.

for example:

dependencies {
        compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'
}

Need to be changed to:

dependencies {
            compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
            compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0'
    }

In the build.gradle file

May be MI users are facing these problems
Just go to Settings -> Mi Account
Create a Mi Account.
Then go to Developers options -> Install via USB (Tick it or enable it)
there you go. Hope it helps!!!
