I can not Install debug Apk from build folder, Blocked by play protect

Question

I have been trying to copy debug Apk from my App Build folder(App->Build->Output->Apk) and trying to install to the device but I am getting error message while installing "Blocked by play protect".

But when I Sign my Apk with my debug KeyStore and I can install successfully without this error for a very first time but again When I generating APK with same debug keystore for the same APk I am facing the same issue that is Blocked by play protect.

Nothing is wrong with your apk. The warning is prompted becquse the apk is not signed. You can disable Play protect by following this tuto and everything will work fine.

You can find the option to enable or disable Google Play Protect in the same Settings -> Google -> Security -> Google Play Protect page, where you will find options “Scan device for security threats” and “Improve harmful app detection“.
