I'm getting this error selectively (not everytime) on the same device (x86_64 lollipop emulator):
Installation failed with message INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS. It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is present, and then re-installing.
WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the application data!
Do you want to uninstall the existing application?
Next, when I press OK, it shows me this:
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.packagename.apps.rp Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]
$ adb shell pm uninstall com.packagename.apps.rp DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR Error while Installing APK
Multiple such questions have been asked and answered, and I've followed most of them:
- I used ARM architecture emulator to run the code as described here and here, it worked, but it's too slow
- I tried the change in gradle as described here, but that was of no help.
Now, a couple of days later, I tried it again on the same x86 emulator and the app is running all good.
I've had similar problem a couple of times in the past. Android Studio will show me this error - no solutions working, and a few days later when I retry it, it would run fine.
Why is it happening? What could be the root cause for such unexpected behavior?
