2. Solution

1. Problem analysis

 

When you click to run the debugging program, it will be automatically generated in the application tab of the manifest file

android:testOnly="true"

Some mobile phones do not support the installation of such applications;

 

2. Solution 1

Under menu bar/build:

  • Debug apps compiled with Build APK(s) can run;
  • The debug version of the application compiled with Make Project can be run;
  • Released apps packaged with Generate Signed APK signatures will also work;

 

3. Solution 2

Configure in gradle.properties

android.injected.testOnly=false
