After searching it for so long what helped me was.

1) File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files.

Or

This helped me too.

2) Uninstalling the previous installed application from emulator/mobile and re-run it and install it again.

This answer helped me. In my case, I had uninstalled the app manually from a physical device and then later Android Studio was failing to install. After running this command, it started working. Thank you! – Babu James Apr 06 '20 at 18:52
@BabuJames You can vote up if my answer helped you ;) – Alektas Apr 07 '20 at 18:50
This one helped me. Studio would run my app on an AVD device without any difficulty but will refuse to run on my physical device. I removed it from everywhere in the normal methods but when `adb uninstall com.myapp` showed 'Success!' I knew it had been it and now the app runs again ! Thanks! – elig Jun 16 '20 at 23:28

I had to uninstall the app for all users.

If you have multiple users (e.g. a kids mode) on your device, uninstalling the app from homescreen only removes the app form the current user.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> (Your App) -> Open Popup Menu (by clicking on the three dots in top right corner) -> Uninstall for all Users

In build.gradle, the line:

 apply plugin: 'android-library'

needs changed to:

apply plugin: 'android'

Edit:

Solution is deprecated. Please use this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

try this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.info.androidapp" >

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"

        android:supportsRtl="true"

        <activity

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            android:name=".LoginActivity"
            android:label="app"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen">

            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen">

        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

your Main Launcher activity always should be only ONE Activity.

you can post logcat for that, and this solution worked for you?@android — Shishram, Oct 26 '15 at 06:19
everything seems ok, you can try running your code on some device or on new emulator!. and check if package name is alright in Manifest and Activities.@android — Shishram, Oct 26 '15 at 06:42

Include the applicationId configuration in build.gradle if it doesn't already exist.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.0'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.myapp.app'
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
}

Do you know how the applicationId is cooked up if it's not explicit? I saw it in the error message, but couldn't find it anywhere in the project directory... Quite annoying to have some kind of magic working behind the scenes that's quite prone to failure in multi-module projects.... – Stefan Haustein Nov 30 '19 at 16:21

The solution to my problem was to uninstall an app from the app (Settings) folder in android because the app was just disabled.

I thing other solutoions will work fine for few user in my case i am using android 9 and i have multi user option enabled for system, it automatically install application for guest user, so goto
Settings>Apps>Concern App
And you will see uninstall for all user option at the top Option Menu. Uninstall and everything will work fine.

in my case this error sparsely appears in one project only and I can resolve it only uninstalling the app. the simplest way is to use Gradle:

ProjName->Tasks->install->uninstallAll
