Android Studio returns error "Installation failed due to: ''cmd package install-create..."

Question

I'm working on an Android App in Android Studio.

After updating Android Studio to Bumblebee 2021.1.1 Patch 2 it has stopped working.

Now I get the following error:

Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed.

List of apks:
[0] 'D:\Filer\Dokument\...\app\build\intermediates\apk\debug\app-debug.apk' Installation failed due to: ''cmd package install-create -r -t --user current --full --dont-kill -S 4617721' returns error 'Unknown failure: cmd: Can't find service: package''
Retry
Failed to launch an application on all devices

Any ideas how to solve this?

Answer 1

The problem is most likely with the Android Emulator in Android Studio.

If you do a Cold Reboot of the Android Emulator it will most likely solve your problem.

1. Open the Android Studio Device Manager from Tools -> Device Manager.

2. Close the Android Emulator if still running.
   

3. Click on the Android Emulator's Device Menu ▼ located on the right hand side in the Device Mananger and Choose Cold Boot Now.
   

Now, try to run the app again...
