Android studio 3.1 run command does not rebuild the APK

Question

This is very annoying aspect of the new android studio version 3.1, I used to launch run command after every code changes, the IDE rebuilds the (whole project & APK) and then deploys it on the target device.

Then after upgrading to version 3.1, the run command does not rebuild the apk any more, and displays the following error messages.

android studio 3.1 Session 'app': Error Installing APK

android studio 3.1 The APK file Error while Installing APK

so I have click on" rebuild & run" each time I make code modification, how can I restore the old behavior of version 3.0.1

Sounds like there might be a read/write permission issue. Have you tried restarted the IDE or even your entire OS? — BRO_THOM, Mar 27 '18 at 08:46

For me, I removed "Instance App Provision" from Run -> Edit Configurations. Then it worked. – Kyaw Min Thu L May 04 '18 at 08:43
