Android Install on Device Failure [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER]

I'm using Android Studio to connect to run app in my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3G device. My device is already found in the Choose Device Dialog, but I keep getting the [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER] error : 

Waiting for device.
Target device: xiaomi-hm_note_1w-SSE6Y97PFYQCRK45

Failure [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER]

I tried looking for solutions online, but there's no mention of Failure [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER] error.

Solution

  • Happens to my Xiaomi phone after updated it to MIUI 8. Took me hours to figure it out!

    Check the followings if you're a victim too:

    1. Go to Settings -> Permissions -> Install via USB: Uncheck your App if it's listed.
    2. Go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Privacy: Check the Unknown Sources option.
    3. Finally go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer options: Check the Install via USB option.

    Update (MIUI 8):

    Signin in to MI account is required to enable Install via USB option.

    Update 2

    For some devices (e.g. Redmi) you might need to turn off MIUI Optimization and reboot your phone.

    Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > MIUI Optimization

    P.S. don't update MIUI unless necessary!

    May the victims saved
