I have an apk that installs fine on all my devices except on an old Samsung Galaxy J5 (and on a Huawei Y3).
I had copy the APK on the device via USB and try to install it with the "my files" app. The log is as follows:

Did anybody come across something like that as well? I´ve checked the option that I can install APK from unknown sources so that can´t be the problem. And I´ve tried to install it from SD-card or internal memory with no success.
If somebody comes around the same problem. I was able to fix it by not using the signing function in Androidstudio but by manually using jarsigner and zipalign from java and the android-sdk-tools.
