I had this same issue and none of the other solutions worked for me    Although no errors were shown nor expanded upon in my IDE GUI  I opened up a second Android Studio window window with a different project and noticed in the bottom that the  Event Log  showed an error in a different window  but not in the project I had opened  The issue stated was   Error  INSTALL FAILED CONFLICTING PROVIDER  Which lead me here - Install shows error in console  INSTALL FAILED CONFLICTING PROVIDER     I had this FileProvider labeled in the manifest    lt provider     android name  androidx core content FileProvider      android authorities  myapp sameonehere android fileprovider      android exported  false      android grantUriPermissions  true  gt       lt meta-data         android name  android support FILE PROVIDER PATHS          android resource   xml file paths    gt   lt  provider gt    Which I had copied from another project and forgotten to rename the  authorities  String in  After changing it to something unique  it ran without issue    Make sure you don t have any conflicting authority Strings like in my example    Also  if no errors are showing up  try opening a second project and see if the  Event Log  shows errors in that location instead

This happens because the gradle is not synced with the app  Go to   Tools -  Android -  Sync Project with Gradle files  Re-run and you should be good to go

A bit late to the party  but be sure that you are trying to build a proper build variant  It sometimes happens to me that when I update AS  the build variants are totally messed up  so instead of building the  debug  variant I am actually building the  release  variant  which outputs apk to a different location  not to app build directory  but to app directly  and I get the following error   The APK file  path to file app apk does not exist on disk  Error while Installing APK   To fix this just open the menu in left bottom corner  click on  Build Variants  and select the debug variant  it might have a different name  depending on how many modules flavors or custom gradle build types you have

Edit   In newer Android Studio versions you can re-sync the project using this button     For older versions   Open Gradle window  on the right side in Android Studio  and click on the refresh button   However it is not a 100  sure fix   Solutions for other cases   Open terminal window and type  adb kill-server   then type  adb start-server   Usually after a few hours of inactivity  adb used to disconnect the device   If you don t have the sdk platform-tools in the PATH environment variable  then you should open a terminal in that folder   One tip if these solutions don t help you  If you open the Event Log window in the right bottom corner of Android Studio  you can see a detailed error message   Other edge case If you see this error  INSTALL FAILED INVALID APK     signatures are inconsistent   Then unfortunately a gradle refresh isn t enough  you have to go to Build -  Clean Project and then Run again    Issue with Android emulator If you want to deploy the APK to an Android Emulator and you see the  Error installing APK  message  your emulator may be frozen and need restart

My problem was that I didn t accept the connection from the computer after turning on remote debugging  Once I accept the mac address  it went away  Silly mistake  but I didn t see the dialog box the first time  Worth a quick check if the others don t resolve the issue  But likely only a problem the first time you set up a phone
