I am trying to build an android app using bluestacks (my phone died)

Android studio can see the emulator in the devices list but when i try to run my app, android studio throws this error:

Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed.
Installation failed due to: 'closed'
Retry

I have tried launching both android studio and bluestacks as administrator.

I have also tried opening the standalone device monitor in the SDK tools folder This throws another error :

could not open Selected VM debug port(8700)

The error log of the monitor contains lots of errors of missing directories.

error log: https://pastebin.com/mmA83ch7

thanks

Go to Settings -> Preferences and Enable Android Debug Bridge, Enable android input debugging

So someone on the bluestacks team decided that putting an adb toggle in "Preferences" and not in "advanced" was a good idea, also literally not on any other single post has anyone said to make sure adb was toggled on.

the seting is in Setings -> Preferences, at the bottom

Open BlueStacks Go to Settings -> Advanced and Enable Android Debug Bridge, Enable android input debugging

Restart Bluestack and then Android Studio, this will make the connection.

happy debugging :)
