Android Studio error when running app through emulator

  Andrew Fletcher       21 September 2022 (updated)     8 minutes read

Only a month ago, running an app through the Android Studio emulator was running fine.  Now I'm warmly greeted by

Error
Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES

The complete error is 

Launching '{project}' on Pixel 5 API 33.
Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES

List of apks:

APK signature verification failed.
Retry
Failed to launch an application on all devices

 

Initially, to resolve this issue, there are two areas of focus:

  • INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES; and
  • APK signature verification failed.

 

While attempting that option, I wanted to attempt a run command prompt

nix cap run android

INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES

Approaches taken to date include:

  • Invalidate caches and restarting;
  • Build Bundle/APK - trying both options;
  • Install APK and run APK in emulator;
  • Wiping the data in the emulator and cold reboot

 

Keystore

What about if I check the password that's being used for the .keystore file.  You can do this by using bash to go to the directory where your app is located.  Where your {name}.keystore file is located enter the command

keytool -list -v -keystore {name}.keystore

Of course replace {name} with your project.

The response will look something similar to 

Enter keystore password:
Keystore type: PKCS12
Keystore provider: SUN

Your keystore contains 1 entry
