Stuck at installing build\app\outputs\apk\app.apk in Flutter... after uninstalling the app

Question

I have read this and this, but nowhere could I find a good answer. I have a problem when I try to run the app. Initially it was working completely fine, but I uninstalled my app from my Android device for some reason and now when I try to run the app on my Android phone it is stuck at installing build\app\outputs\apk\app.apk...

PS: it also successfully installs at my friend's device. It is only stuck when I try to run in my phone. Also other projects are successfully loaded too, but I even tried to create a new project and copy all files from the old one and tried to run, but that didn't work for me either.

okay try using flutter clean and then run using flutter run in terminal — Aamil Silawat, Jan 23 '20 at 11:46
I had this very same problem and it was related to the users on the device. If you have multiple users on the device and uninstall manually for one user, the app won't install automatically till you uninstall the app for all the users. — Jairo R. Flores, Apr 26 '21 at 19:00

Run flutter clean and check if you have enough memory on your device.

Can you please show your `flutter doctor` output? Also, are you able to install a build manually by `adb install build/app/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk`? – LITSLINK Jan 23 '20 at 12:00

I got around this problem by typing this command in the Terminal:

flutter run -d <deviceId>

For my LG phone, it was:

flutter run -d LGUS998d7315d51

The problem occurs if your device has an incomplete installed app with the same package name.

Solution:

Uninstall any app in your device that has the same package name
See the Settings/app whether it is completely uninstalled or not. If not, uninstall from there also.
If possible, erase your internal storage.
Push your project to GitHub
Delete the project from your harddisk.
Download the project and unzip it
Run it

I lost all four days regarding this problem. I tried all the solutions I found. But at last I solved this issue by doing the above things.

I tried all the solutions in the previous answers.

What worked for me: just restart your physical device. It will work.

This problem is caused by incomplete installation of the app. I have solved this problem by uninstalling the app from the device using Terminal.

Type in: adb uninstall app_package_name in the terminal.

I also had this issues, I solved this by copying the apk file into my device internal memory and installed it back.

The apk file location build\app\outputs\flutter-apk\app-debug.apk
