error code:

Installing on device 2744b499...

Application org.nativescript.fagck_app is not running on device 2744b499.
This issue may be caused by:
        * crash at startup (try `tns debug android --debug-brk` to check why it crashes)
        * different application identifier in your package.json and in your gradle files (check your identifier in `package.json` and in all *.gradle files in your App_Resources directory)
        * device is locked
        * manual closing of the application

Answer 1

In may case, i have installed a software in my mac that also runs adb. The main prob really was its conflicting with the android adb. uninstall that software solved the problem

Answer 2

The problem for me was that the Application id was different in both:

package.json

}
  ...
    "nativescript": {
    "id": "org.nativescript.myApp"
  }
}

And nativescript.config.ts

export default {
  id: 'org.nativescript.myApp',
  appResourcesPath: 'App_Resources',
  android: {
    v8Flags: '--expose_gc',
    markingMode: 'none'
  }
} as NativeScriptConfig;

It must be the same. After that, it works just fine.

Try this commands while your cable is connected to your phone:

1. adb kill-server
2. sudo adb start-server
3. sudo adb reconnect

then retry running NativeScript command.

Answer 5

in my case, this did not work due to an overflow of the device's memory. Clean memory and try install again

I faced the same problem:

>>> ns run android
(...)
Project successfully built.
The build result is located at: /Users/krzysztof/dev/surfcloud-mobile-apps/bizApp/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

Application app.surfcloud.bizApp is not running on device ce12171cd1a920bd0d.
This issue may be caused by:
    * crash at startup (try `tns debug android --debug-brk` to check why it crashes)
    * different application identifier in your package.json and in your gradle files (check your identifier in `package.json` and in all *.gradle files in your App_Resources directory)
    * device is locked
    * manual closing of the application
Unable to apply changes on device: ce12171cd1a920bd0d. Error is: Application app.surfcloud.bizApp is not running.

In my case the solution was to change:

<activity android:exported="false" (...)/>

to:

<activity android:exported="true" (...)/>

in AndroidManifest.xml. After setting exported to true the app launches normally.

Answer 7

For me, it was just that I had a previous version of the app already installed on the device. Uninstalling that fixed the problem.

Crap

Answer 8

In my case, I ran out of disk space on my phone ... tns showed it connected to my phone and starting to install it, but then crashed with the same msg as above.

So I've started to remove apps and pictures, and it's just worked.

Because that error appeared on a brand new project (w/o any changes) and also to an app that was already done and I know it was working as it was installed already on my phone ...

Answer 9

• Check if Application id is same in package.json and androidMenifest.xml
• If looks good then open android studio : Tools > AVD Manager > Wipe Data of existing device.
• Restart the application : tns run android.

Answer 10

answer from https://stackoverflow.com/users/11142390/silver-daymon is cool, but this is only small parts of truth, because name "com.tns.NativeScriptApplication" hardcoded in gradle scripts and more other places

  \platforms\android\app\build\intermediates\assets\debug\app\vendor.js
  \node_modules\@nativescript\core\application\application.android.js

You can not define name in Manifest you want without changing the same name in other places

Unreasonable
