Flutter stuck at Installing build\app\outputs\apk\app.apk

Question

When I run:

$ flutter run

I'm getting a prompt on my mobile device asking if I want to install the app on my device. I give yes, then nothing happens!

It's stuck here:

Launching lib/main.dart on POCO F1 in debug mode...
Initializing gradle...                                           1.5s
Resolving dependencies...                                        9.2s
Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...                                  22.9s
Built build\app\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk.
Installing build\app\outputs\apk\app.apk...                     14.9s

Then nothing.

Answer 1

For me, the error was due to my work android profile. I uninstalled the debug app in personal profile but it remained in the work profile, once I uninstalled it there and ran flutter run. It worked without any issues. So, First, ensure you deleted the App in both personal and work profile And then run

flutter run

Update:

By profiles I meant, android user profiles on your phone.

Answer 2

I removed debug application from Android menu, and then I ran into the same issue. I restarted my phone, but it wasn't very helpful. My solution was to remove the application completely and reinstall it by hand:

1. Connect to the device with ADB

2. Use adb uninstall com.example.application.name

3. Use adb install C:\PathToYourProject\build\app\outputs\apk\app.apk

By the way, in such uneasy scenarios, flutter run --verbose could provide more detailed information what went wrong.
