After Updating Android Studio to the version 3.6, I am unable to install an app directly to device by using Run button.

It just updates the gradle and shows gradle updated popup that's it.

I tried invalidating cache and recreating the emulator device but no luck yet.

Let me know if anyone could help as am creating APK and installing it manually in emulator.

I am not able to post this as comment, but maybe someone finds this info useful. I faced same problem after updating Android Studio to 3.6.1 on Mac OS. I tried to use gradle task for installing and launching my application and I found strange log in console about missing adb in platform-tools folder.

So, as result: after update folder platform-tools was moved into folder with same name (was: sdk/platform-tools become: sdk/platform-tools/platform-tools). I just move it manually back and everything is worked as a charm.

Hope it helps.

  • It might be worth leaving it there and updating Android Studio to point to the new location, otherwise you could be moving it every time you update – Scott Cooper Mar 31 '20 at 10:12

I have installed the Android Studio 3.6 and suddenly existing project stopped running. I tried the following thing and it worked.

Android Studio -> Run -> Edit Configurations -> Installation options -> Select Nothing instead of Default apk.

I have installed Android Studio 3.6 yesterday. I have tried both way to install APK.

  1. Directly by Run button. [DEVICE - Working, Emulator - Working]
  2. Generated APK, Drag and Drop to Emulator. (Its also working)

Hope It will work for you too. Just drag n drop APK file to emulator.

Bonus - May your emulator is older, You can update your Emulator from SDK Manager and Create New.

  • it's a debug apk. and 2nd option is working but it's taking lot of time so need to resolve the 1st option. – kvaruna Mar 02 '20 at 05:45
  • What is the size of your APK? and If it's taking too much time then may your PC/Laptop configuration also affect. – Pratik Butani Mar 02 '20 at 06:20
  • It's 27 MB and config is also good. gradle build finishes in 5 to 10 sec without any error so no trace to dig – kvaruna Mar 02 '20 at 07:43
