Other B4A 9.01.2 Installing file to device. Error [Resolved see post 34]

[itgirl]

After updating to V 9.01.2 I get a weird error [Installing file to device. Error] even though the app is installed on the device but the problem is with the Debug mode it gives the same message but the debug process does not work ??!! any one encountered this issue too ?

I disabled my Antivirus also tried to run B4A as administrator none worked ??

B4A Version: 9.01.2
Java Version: 11

Have you tried to change the package name (as a test) ?

Yeah Erel i saw your post about the package name and i did change it also i made sure to change the icons too , also i tried with 5 other apps all the same problem

 

[itgirl]

made a new app
tried to compile and send to device

Today I updated B4A from version 9.01 to 9.01.2

Once i had a similar problem, working with a virtual device, a VM WARE machine and a physical device at the same time and maybe i opened the IDE more than once. for some reason, the IP address was repeated on a machine, and this was saved in the b4xV5.ini file.
I edited it (with the IDE closed), removed the duplicated line "SavedIp(n)=xxx.xxx.x.xx", and it was resolved.
Hopefully it can be of some use.

Are you using B4A-Bridge?

Are you using B4A-Bridge?

No not at all i always use a real device and USB also no VMs

Yeah this kind of things may happen when using VM also if you are using B4A-Bridge but since im not using any i don't think this is the problem

Also Erel as i mentioned before when using the [release] the app actually get installed on the device but the IDE shows [Installing file to device. Error] i think this may gives you a hint or something

 

[Erel]

Try it with B4A-Bridge.

 

[itgirl]

Try it with B4A-Bridge.

I tried using Bridge just now and yeah everything working smooth no problems in [Debug] or [Release] !!!

 

[Erel]

The installation error comes from ADB tool. Might be a driver issue. I prefer B4A-Bridge over USB debug mode, even when USB debug mode works fine. The File Explorer feature is a nice advantage of B4A-Bridge.

But i never installed any new drivers or anything !! how can i debug this issue and find the cause for it ? can you send me a link to an older version like B4A 9 i will try to install it and try it if it's working ? I really dont prefer using Bridge USB is much faster and i have alot of options that needs USB debugging :/

with B4A Bridge it works
USB and emulator Genymotion does not work today
I think the cause is an update done with SDK Manager

I dont think it's an SDK manager update thing because i didn't update my SDK from 1 month and the issue occurred after the issue i updated my SDK and the issue remained

I'm able to reproduce it. It is related to an update to the build tools.
The latest version of adb.exe returns wrong error codes.

I'm able to get it working by copying adb.exe from <sdk>\platform-tools.backup to <sdk>\platform-tools.

It is not related to B4A version. See my answer above.

Amazing Erel HUUUUUUGE thanks all working now ,,,, Erel always to the rescue

The next version of B4A will include a workaround for this version of ADB. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
