Android Question Virus?

[yo3ggx]

Hello.

Today, when I compiled my app, I get the error:

...
Signing package file (private key).    (0.41s)
Installing file to device.    Error
Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

Yesterday was working without any issue. Didn't changed anything in between. Tried with a few Android devices.

I don't know if this is linked with the issue or not, but Android devices with B4A Bridge running are no more shown in the IDE B4A Connect menu, but I can still connect using the IP address.

Anyone with this issue?

Thank you.

Solved: Operation Did Not Complete Successfully [Virus/PUP]

Can’t open a file because Windows 10 detects a virus in the file location: “Operation did not complete successfully:” Here are the methods to fix it.

Microsoft Defender does not find anything in the project folder and subfolders. The apk file is successfully created (no warnings from MS Defender). Only when I connect the Android device over USB or through the B4A Bridge I get that error.

Try excluding your project folder from the antivirus. Perhaps real time monitoring temporarily locks the apk when it's first accessed, leading to your error.

The problem disappear without doing anything except a full scan of the project folder (which was anyway excluded long time ago from realtime MS Defender monitoring). Very strange ...

Any moment the db of Windows scanner may get to be ... smarter...

Anyone with this issue?

I've seen it, using USB cable (in my case). I just ignore it and compile again. Sometimes I have to do a clean project. I just chalk it up to MS's anti-virus software going bonkers.

In my case with both USB cable or B4A Bridge. If no device connected, the apk is compiled successfully.
