java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError and unknown error in ADB

Question

After updating my Huawei Ascend P7 to Android Lolipop (5.1.1) from Android Kitkat (4.4.2) I'm started to experience 2 very problematic issues when I'm launching app:

1) (Android Studio, Eclipse, ADB from terminal)

2) (Eclipse only)

I can't find anything in logcat.

I can't find any solid solution only workaround: restart eclipse/android studio, kill-start adb server, reconnect device. If it'll manage to work it only works for a short period of time. Problem persists on 2 different machines with different usb cables. It's definitely some bug in lollipop (everything worked on kitkat), because I've found some topics about that happening on lolipop on asus or htc devices too. I can't find any universal workaround for Huawei however.

I use Mac OS X so solutions for windows won't work for me.

I ofc have programmer mode on, usb debugging on, disabled confirmation on installation from adb. But the option "verify apps via usb" it grayed out and some people said that disabling it can make it working. Adb 1.0.32.

Answer 1

This is a bug from your smartphone manufacturer, an update from Huawei (when available) should be the final solution to your problem.

Meanwhile I found this other discussion that present different workarounds that could be further attempts if you didn't try yet.

Using terminal, just reinstall with adb to avoid the Android Studio recompile time:

$terminal: /sdk/platform-tools/adb install -r

And usually it works. If it fails again, just run this command again

If you really want to try it, the process would be:

Close Studio (or try disabling Tools | Android | Enable ADB Integration) Do the following on a shell:

$ adb push /path/to/your/project/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk /data

$ adb shell pm install /data/app-debug.apk

$ (am start command from comment #4/#5) Restart IDE (or Re-enable ADB Integration).
