  • @DSlomer64 - app unable to run on the device – CAC Sep 30 '15 at 23:02
  • Are there error messages, especially exceptions, that tell you where the error occurred? If the message is `Unfortunately ... has stopped ...`, there surely are messages to refer to. You should Google `INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK` and follow those links. It seems to be a common error with no single cause, although the message means that you've sent an app compiled such that the device can't handle it since its SDK is older. What version are you compiling to? What Android version does the device have? – DSlomer64 Oct 01 '15 at 17:14
  • [This](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20622255/what-does-failure-install-failed-older-sdk-mean-in-android-studio) is a good link to start with if you're getting the INSTALL_FAILED... error – DSlomer64 Oct 01 '15 at 17:14
