i was also getting the same error repeatedly but could not solve it as i am complete new to android development. But then it came to my mind that the error is appearing because its not able to install the apk in the device as the error says. So i make sure that my Oneplus3 is in debugging mode and also allowing file transfer when connected via USB. And this solved the problem.

Also previously it was not doing the instant run but now it does.

So check whether your android device is allowed to transfer files while connected via USB. This might help.

Note  The top answers recommend to disable Instant Run  Try this before exploring my listed solutions to prevent wasting more time than needed   Here are some possible solutions   1  Make sure that your phone is properly connected to your PC with a USB cable  Before going over these fixes  make sure that you have at least connected your phone to your computer properly   If it s properly connected  your phone should be charging   2  Make sure that your device s driver software is up-to-date  Simply go to your File Explorer and then right click Computer   Then  select Manage  requires administrator privileges    In your Computer Management window  find a tab on the left pane that says Device or Device Manager   Search for your device from there   Mine was under Portable Devices and the name started with SAMSUNG  so finding your device shouldn t be too hard   Right click the device  and then select Update Driver Software      I chose the Search automatically for updated driver software option  since it s much easier     3  Enable USB debugging under your Developer Options  For my Samsung Galaxy S9  I found mine under Settings   Developer Options   From there  enable USB Debugging   If you can t find your Developer Options  find your build number within the settings and tap it 7 times consecutively  I found mine under Settings   About Phone   Software information   4  Make sure you ve allowed USB debugging for your specific computer  Although you may have your USB Debugging option enabled  you still need to allow USB debugging for your specific computer   A popup should appear asking Allow USB debugging  and providing the computer s RSA key fingerprint   Before pressing OK  make sure your check Always allow from this computer  so that you don t have to go through this again in the future   If you think you ve done this but yet your device is still marked as OFFLINE  select the Revoke USB debugging authorization option in  Developer Options    Then  re-allow your computer for USB Debugging   If the popup doesn t appear  reconnect your phone to the Computer  pull the cable out and put it back into your Phone    5  Trying cleaning AND rebuilding your project  In Android Studio  open up the Build tab at the top left and try both the Clean and Rebuild options   If none of the above works out  Reinstall Android Studio by Uninstalling the program and re-downloading the setup file here   Scan for any viruses that may be affecting your computer   Check for any sort of error while reinstalling Android Studio   If none of the methods presented in this answer work  fetch for support here   Good luck
