'protocol failure' when attempting 'cordova run android' (APUS)

When attempting cordova run android I am getting:

ERROR: Failed to launch application on device: ERROR: Failed to install apk to device: Error executing "< ... >": protocol failure

This did not happen previously. Recently APUS was installed on my Android phone.

Solution

  • Uninstalling APUS on my android fixed this.

    (Settings > Apps > (APUS) > Uninstall) and then restarting my phone.
