I deleted and reposted my question as I thought it was resolved and marked it, but it was not, and I'm adding much more info about it.
I'm working on an Android app and after updating my device's Android version to 9 I'm not being able to run my app from Android Studio anymore.
I'm seeing two different errors in Event Log:
The first (and shortest):
Session 'app': Install failed. Installation failed
Tried everything from next link with no luck:
Session 'app' error while installing APK
The second:
Broken pipe java.io.IOException: Broken pipe at sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.write0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.SocketDispatcher.write(SocketDispatcher.java:47) at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.writeFromNativeBuffer(IOUtil.java:93) at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.write(IOUtil.java:65) at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.write(SocketChannelImpl.java:471) at com.android.ddmlib.AdbHelper.executeRemoteCommand(AdbHelper.java:524) at com.android.ddmlib.AdbHelper.executeRemoteCommand(AdbHelper.java:627) at com.android.ddmlib.SplitApkInstaller.uploadApk(SplitApkInstaller.java:133) at com.android.ddmlib.SplitApkInstaller.install(SplitApkInstaller.java:73) at com.android.ddmlib.Device.installPackages(Device.java:927) at com.android.tools.deployer.AdbClient.install(AdbClient.java:75) at com.android.tools.deployer.ApkInstaller.install(ApkInstaller.java:32) at com.android.tools.deployer.Deployer.install(Deployer.java:76) at com.android.tools.idea.run.tasks.DeployTask.perform(DeployTask.java:79) at com.android.tools.idea.run.tasks.AbstractDeployTask.perform(AbstractDeployTask.java:109) at com.android.tools.idea.run.LaunchTaskRunner.run(LaunchTaskRunner.java:132) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager$TaskRunnable.run(CoreProgressManager.java:727) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.lambda$runProcess$2(CoreProgressManager.java:164) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.registerIndicatorAndRun(CoreProgressManager.java:582) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.executeProcessUnderProgress(CoreProgressManager.java:532) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.ProgressManagerImpl.executeProcessUnderProgress(ProgressManagerImpl.java:87) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.runProcess(CoreProgressManager.java:151) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager$4.run(CoreProgressManager.java:403) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)
My device is a Huawei P20 and I'm working with latest Android Studio 3.4.1 with Ubuntu, and app run (launch) from Android Studio stopped working after Android 8 to 9 update.
As a note I can add that build process runs OK and device is detected correctly when launching (in the first screen where you select the target device) and I can also see device as connected in logcat viewer, but when finishing building, when ready to deploy you hear the sound that the computer does when plugging / unplugging an usb device
.
Any help?
Edit 1:
I thought it ended up being an OS (Ubuntu) problem, because restored a recent backup of my virtual machine and it was working fine, but after updating Android Studio and SDKs (as suggested) it started failing again so it has to be something in conjunction between my device OS Android 9 and the latest SDK updates, I presume.
In the "failing" vm I can run the app in an old Android 4 phone and in my 4.4.3 Asus tablet, and not in my new Android 9 one, and that's why I gussed it could be an Android 9 related issue.

Edit 2:
Tried to run another of my working apps and I got this error after building successfully and when about to deploy apk:
Installation failed with message 'cmd package install-create -r -t -S 11182369' returns error 'Unknown failure: Security exception: Permission Denial: runInstallCreate from pm command asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: runInstallCreate from pm command asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL at com.android.server.am.UserController.handleIncomingUser(UserController.java:1827) at com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService.handleIncomingUser(ActivityManagerService.java:25069) at android.app.ActivityManager.handleIncomingUser(ActivityManager.java:4848) at com.android.server.pm.PackageManagerShellCommand.translateUserId(PackageManagerShellCommand.java:2402) at com.android.server.pm.PackageManagerShellCommand.doCreateSession(PackageManagerShellCommand.java:2408) at com.android.server.pm.PackageManagerShellCommand.runInstallCreate(PackageManagerShellCommand.java:949)
