Answer 1

I noticed that when using Marshmallow (Android 6.0+) there is a problem with the new "com.google.android.gms" play services version 8.3.0 . I would recommend using the 8.1.0 version - that solved the problem in my case.

for example:

dependencies {
        compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'
}

Need to be changed to:

dependencies {
            compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
            compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0'
    }

In the build.gradle file

It may be installed with different signature. You need to uninstall previous app.

You can check in Settings>>Apps

Answer 3

UNINSTALL your app manually from device or run below command in adb command line

adb uninstall com.app.app

And try again to run your app.See this get more idea.
