Deployment failed, Internal error

Question

I am working on Xamarin Android Application.When I run my application I am getting this error :

error: Unexpected install output: pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.iKart.androidapplication-Signed.apk Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]

My Package Name is : com.iKart.androidapplication

I have already uninstall my application from device using adb uninstall,still I am getting this error.

What is the solution ? Please Help!

This is my Menifest :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" package="com.iKart.androidapplication">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light" android:label="Mono.Droid">
<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id" />
<activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" android:label="@string/app_name" />
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
</manifest>

In Android Device Logging(Visual Studio) I am getting :

Are you sure that you packgename is com.iKart.androidapplication if so then plz restart your phone and try to reinstall it also restart visual studio once — Rajnish Mishra, Sep 16 '15 at 06:47
yeah,I am sure Package Name is correct and yes i restarted my phone and Visual Studio but not worked @RajnishMishra — Dhruv Gohil, Sep 16 '15 at 06:55
see this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28499167/capital-characters-in-android-project-packagename — Rajnish Mishra, Sep 16 '15 at 06:57
I just came to know that I have changed the of an application that's why I am getting this error.So now what should be the solution ? @RajnishMishra — Dhruv Gohil, Sep 16 '15 at 07:37
name of an application and namespaces in all files @RajnishMishra — Dhruv Gohil, Sep 16 '15 at 07:43
there could be a conflict in package name with any other app on your phone checkout that is there is any debug app or previously installed app with same package name — Rajnish Mishra, Sep 16 '15 at 07:58

I have solved this Myself : uninstall app from device and then run again.If it still not work then open Android SDK Command Prompt
(open Xamrin-studio > Tools > open a Android SDK Command Prompt)
then write following :

D:\Android\android-sdk> adb uninstall (Applicationpackagename)

you can get application package name from Androidmenifest file which is in properties folder.
This will definitely solve the error.
Thank you

You should rename you package name

from

com.iKart.androidapplication

to

com.ikart.androidapplication

notice capital K is changd to small k

Go to settings and app and make sure any app with same package name is not installed try to reinstall again using adb install -r ikart.apk

There are possible solution based on different scenario

Case 1: Uninstalling an app does sometimes leave the data folder behind we need to manually uninstall the app folder from "Application Manager"

Case 2: In case app uninstalled and don't see the app folder [with the app package name] then we need to use adb commands to uninstall these folders. Use [adb shell pm list packages] command which will show a list of all packages available in the device. If you see your app package in the list then run another adb command to remove [adb shell pm uninstall package name]

Case 3: If none of these works then we need to check the options provided by the Xamarin studio. Enable Shared mono runtime under project options.

Hopefully one of these should resolve your issue.

I think you have a problem with facebook activity. this is how you correctly write it:

    <activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity" 
          android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation" 
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" 
          android:label="@string/app_name" />
<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" 
           android:value="@string/app_id" />
<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider[your app_id (without brackets)]" 
          android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider" 
          android:exported="true" />

I don't think so because after changing application name I am getting this error.Before it was working fine.I am working in xamarin so this format is correct.Though I have tried yours but not working.Thanks.@misho – Dhruv Gohil Sep 16 '15 at 06:46
ok, remove capital letter from package name: `iKart` => `ikart` – arsena Sep 16 '15 at 06:54
it isn't allowed to use capital letter in package name – arsena Sep 16 '15 at 06:57

In the AndroidManifest.xml settings change the "Install Location" from Default to auto

In my case uninstalling all the previous apps that I had installed using Xamarin on the device solved the problem.
