I am a newbie in Ionic. I just made a simple app in Ionic that ran well on browser. So, I converted it into an .apk file using Android studios that generated an android-release-unsigned.apk file. I transfered it to my device and on trying to install it I encountered that it was not being installed. I am not able to figure out the cause. Need some assistance.

The Android app not installed error can be combated after resetting app permissions. Go to Settings > Apps > Reset App Preferences/Reset Application Permissions. After this, third-party software can be installed on your device.
To run your app, all you have to do is enable USB debugging and Developer Mode on your Android device, then run ionic cordova run android --device from the command line. Enabling USB debugging and Developer Mode can vary between devices, but is easy to look up with a Google search.
You can follow the steps which are mentioned in the official doc below.
Deploying to a Device
But for me, it didn't work.So I just manually did that as shown below.
ionic cordova run android --device
Plugged device to the PC using USB
Copy the android-debug.apk file to the device (apk path:.. \platforms\android\build\outputs\apk)
After that, You have to enable below setting on your Android device
settings --> general tab --> security --> unknown sources (enabled this)
android-debug.apk from the location which you have copied.Then your app will be installed on your device.That is it.You can use your app on real device now.
