Installation did not succeed. The application could not be installed. Device not found


Running the app on a real device I get the error below. No issue on emulator. During "Install", the installation fails and Android Studio no longer sees the device. If I disconnect and reconnect the device it shows up in AS again. Currently running Android Studio 3.6.3

Things I've tried:

  • Invalidate caches and restart
  • Kill and restart adb server
  • Reinstall Android Studio
  • Different device, project, USB cable and USB port

Solution

  • Deleting Android Studio and clearing all of its directories worked.
