Android, apk installation INSTALL_FAILED_POLICY_REJECTED_PERMISSION

Leave a Comment

I'm trying to install application using Android Studio, I manage to install other apps except this app, when I try to install it I get few errors within the Logcat following by INSTALL_FAILED_POLICY_REJECTED_PERMISSION alert, I'm not sure what error relates to the main problem(not able to install the app) but here they are:

2 times the following error:

com.example.appName has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml; ignoring! 

after that there are 2 times:

getAuthToken called with non existant account: myoldemail@gmail.com Failed to get auth token: no such account android.accounts.AuthenticatorException: no such account 

And finally I get an alert with INSTALL_FAILED_POLICY_REJECTED_PERMISSION.

To be precise(there was an app with the same name long ago so it might make sense, but anyway clicking ok fail to install the apk):

Installation failed with message INSTALL_FAILED_POLICY_REJECTED_PERMISSION. It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is present, and then re-installing.  WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the application data!  Do you want to uninstall the existing application? 

Edit:

I factory reset the device, and btw, it's an 4.4.4 Note 4 device and same error, so it should be the app or something with the build.

Furthermore, I removed all my accounts, removed the email app, I did probably everything online but still, same error.

Edit:

First, it's working on emulators, now, here are some more details, the manifest:

First thing that comes to mind is a device admin application is on your phone. This is usually the case for phones used in enterprise setting. The app forces certain policies for your phone. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/DevicePolicyManager.html

As you already removed all your (exchange) email, my next guess is could be a problem within your app. There are few libraries/tools out there that require developer phones to work properly. Would you be able to share your manifest or/and dependencies to give us a better picture of your app?

Do you have Knox installed on the device? I had a similar issue and Samsung Knox was the reason why I was getting the rejection. After I disabled Knox, I was allowed to install the .apk.

Also, have you checked that you have 'Unknown Sources' allowed? I assume you do since you have been able to install other apps, but I am curious what it is set to.

Do you know if the .apk is properly signed and aligned and all that?
