Answer 1

The problem can be solved by addding the install flags -r -t in the Run/Debug Configuration Dialog like it's showed in the given image You can find Run/Debug Configuration Dialog location here according to Jetbrains. UPDATE: Depending on the Android Studio version the Run/Debug Configuration position in the IDE can be slightly different, but always refer Jetbrains to find whatever you are looking for

Answer 2

When you've installed an APK from another source, Android Studio warns you before overwriting.

For example, if I've developed an application, uploaded it onto the Google Play Store, downloaded it, then try to re-deploy that same application from Android Studio, I'll get this warning.

It's trying to tell you that the way the package is signed is different; it's warning you that another app might be masquerading as the original.
