React-native: [Android] Upload package to device fails

Created on 15 Sep 2015  ยท  127Comments  ยท  Source: facebook/react-native

I'm trying to build the default example but it fails uploading the package to my device (Android 5.0):

Exceptions thrown while deploying.

command: react-native run-android

OS: Linux 15.04 64-bits

Log:

`````` sh
:app:installDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ':app:installDebug'.

Most helpful comment

I had to type:
adb kill-server
adb connect 192.168.0.14:5555

Wait a moment then run:

adb devices

This will show you the DEVICE_ID (which i'm gonna call XYZ) of your device running android. It is usually its IP adress followed by the port 5555 (usually, not always).

react-native run-android --deviceId XYZ

The important part was the --deviceId XYZ. Without this, the apk would never get uploaded to the phone.

Then, the app launched with a red screen... i had to shake it, dev settings, adjust the "debug server host & port for device", putting my computer's IP address and port, like this:

192.168.0.15:8081

Lastly, i had to shake my phone again and select REALOD...

it worked for me!

So I managed to enable the remote dev server via wi-fi and got everything to work generating a debug apk.

It works for now.

Steps (for those who are interested):

  1. cd into /android and run ./gradlew assemble**
  2. upload* app-debug.apk from android/app/build/outputs/apk/ to phone and install it (you might need to enable unknown sources)
  3. Run app, ignore the red screen, errors on the left and Unable to load JS bundle
  4. Shake device to inflate the dev menu:

    • check (true) Auto reload on JS change

    • open Debug server host for device and type your computer IP address

  5. return to your host computer and run on terminal react-native start
  6. restart the app/reload js on your phone and it's ready to go

* I use Pushbullet and it works like charm for this kind of tasks
** Optional: Enable the daemon for faster builds

Do you have device debugging enabled on your phone? Do you see your device in the output of adb devices command?

kmagiera picture kmagiera on 15 Sep 2015

@kmagiera correct, I tried under adb tcpip (wifi) -> adb connect and usb and got the same error.

ghost picture ghost on 15 Sep 2015

Glad you got this to work. "Unable to upload some APKs" is a generic Gradle error, do you have spaces in your project name by chance? Google gives me: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=180674

I'm experiencing the same issue.

Huawei P8 - Android 5.0
OS: OSX 10.10.4

Enabled usb debugging and allowing all sources. My project name does not contain any special characters or spaces.

Edit: I can confirm that the remote dev server workaround by @peduxe works though.

flipace picture flipace on 15 Sep 2015

@mkonicek nope the project name is just: rn

ghost picture ghost on 15 Sep 2015

Looks like there are two separate issues here:

  • "Unable to upload some APKs" from Gradle. This is Gradle-specific and I'd Google to find out why this is happening.
  • Getting the app to load JS from the host machine. The steps you described are very similar to the docs, looks like we should add the step to restart the app.

Do you need the step react-native start? I would expect react-native run-android to start the packager in a new window before failing in Gradle.

mkonicek picture mkonicek on 16 Sep 2015

@mkonicek It doesn't get to the point of uploading the app to my device, fails on the first step - also no new window (terminal tab?) is open during react-native run-android.

The react-native server needs to be executing before running react-native run-android?

ghost picture ghost on 16 Sep 2015

@peduxe Try entering android dir inside your project and running ./gradlew :app:installDebug from there.

@kmagiera same errors.

ghost picture ghost on 16 Sep 2015

Try running it with --debug

kmagiera picture kmagiera on 16 Sep 2015

@kmagiera nothing, but now outputs much more verbose logs

ghost picture ghost on 16 Sep 2015

Do you mind posting your logs here?

kmagiera picture kmagiera on 16 Sep 2015

@kmagiera It's a bit long

ghost picture ghost on 16 Sep 2015

Met the same issue.

Device: MEIZU m2 note - Android 5.1
OS: OSX 10.10.5

BTW, the workaround provided by @peduxe is also worked for me.

The same application can run on my Nexus 7 (Android 5.1) without issues.

@conechan you can connect with adb reverse, no need to set the host machine.

Make sure your device is connected via USB and run adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081, then run react-native start.

@everplus yep it does work with AS, I believe it's the adb task to deploy the apk being used by react-native does not work for every device, I tested with a S5 and it worked.

ghost picture ghost on 21 Sep 2015

I have the same problem, make sure you have allocate enough SD storage for your AVD. That's works for me!

@lazybios But i'm deploying to my own device, not the emulator :)

I got the same error after I call

@conechan, @everplus, @flipace

So I just downgraded this classpath from the gradle build files,

from 1.3.0 (there's also a newer version: 1.3.1 but it doesn't work as well) to 1.2.0 and successfully it pushed the apk to my device and started the activity, although there's a new error.

Prolly worth a look now:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.0'

Regarding your new error I think this may help you: http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device-android.html#content

@kmagiera It didn't, the error persists.

I had the same error too, with a virtual device. I got around it by deleting a couple of my apps that were installed on the device, including the previous version of the react native app that I was trying to test. Once I did that the error went away.

@yanni858 Well weird, I can't find way to debug any app anymore, even pushing the apk manually. Probably it's a network problem here I got here...

ghost picture ghost on 5 Oct 2015

@kmagiera @mkonicek found a way to make it work normally but only with the gradle build tools version 1.2.0 and react-native 0.12.0.

On the gradle build tools 1.2.0 > it stills throws the installDebug exception.
On react-native 0.12.0 and gradle build tools 1.2.0, this is the result: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2720#issuecomment-143886411

Also tried with a really really old Jelly Bean 4.1.2 LG phone I got here but it just worked with react-native 0.12.0. No need to downgrade the gradle build tools (1.3.0/1.3.1 and it's beta versions).

I can't repro this and pretty sure this is related to Gradle / device rather than React Native. Once you find out the root cause can you please send a PR for Known Issues to describe the solution?

mkonicek picture mkonicek on 14 Oct 2015

@mkonicek it's probably some incompatibility between my device/android version: 5.0 and the gradle build tools plugin, up to 1.2.3 it works well, even better than using Android Studio: when I debug a project it will even between building and starting the activity or throw a error that it couldn't attach the debugger to the activity or not deploying an apk with my code/resource changes.

I can debug and run using Android Studio, perhaps there are other tasks that need to be run before deploying with (react-native run-android / ./gradlew installDebug)?

ghost picture ghost on 14 Oct 2015

I have the exact same problem on a Huawei Mate 7 (MT7-L09) Lollipop v5.1.1. However, I tried with a Samsung S III mini (v4.3) and it worked, but the JS server didn't start, so I got that red screen with "Reload JS". I suspect it's a Gradle related issue on Lollipop :question:

ghost picture ghost on 15 Oct 2015

@georgenetu You mean the packager didn't start? Run react-native start.

You will probably need to set your remote host IP manually (shake device/menu button => dev settings) or running adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081.

Interesting! 1.2.0 is from April 2015 so it's not an ancient version and we might consider temporarily downgrading (until this is fixed). http://developer.android.com/tools/revisions/gradle-plugin.html

Please feel free to send a PR updating this and cc me:

mkonicek picture mkonicek on 13 Nov 2015

@mkonicek Anyone can really change the build file, wouldn't it better to have this on the Android development README? Probably just a minority have this exact problem, I tried deploying to other devices and I didn't stumble upon this issue.

ghost picture ghost on 13 Nov 2015

@peduxe That's an option too although by updating the build file we "fix" this for everyone automatically (at the cost of downgrading - is it high?).

The best doc would be this one: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/docs/DevelopmentSetupAndroid.md (the README is mostly for contributors to React Native, explaining how to build React Native itself).

I have noticed, that even after downgrading gradle it only worked when I uninstalled the app first.

@jawadrehman It should be replacing the apk on your device whenever you change your project resources, perhaps some error prior to deployment?

with the configuration highlighted

I had the same issue trying to deploy to my device "'Redmi Note 2 - 5.0.2". Downgrading Gradle to 1.2.3 also worked for me. I also tried Gradle 1.5.0 but that did not work either.

I think we could find out more by running the pm commands manually how Gradle does it:

>> pm install-create -S [APK bytes]

sess id: [sess id]

>> pm install-write -S [APK bytes] [sess id] 0_app-debug -[stream binary APK here]

??? no idea which response would come here

>> pm install-commit [sess id]

And see if anything does fail.

How I resolved my issue:

$ <projectfolder>vim build.gradle

and lowered the gradle version to 1.2.3

after that 1 terminal open with:
$ adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

//open new terminal Ctrl + Alt + T in ubuntu go to project folder

OpenGG picture OpenGG on 12 May 2016

@olojiang "Failed to establish session", it is likely the building process failed to communicate with your device via adb. Did you try adb devices or adb install android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk?

OpenGG picture OpenGG on 12 May 2016
👍2

@slott See my comment above.

And also to everyone in trouble with this problem, if ':app:installDebug' task failed, it means gradle fails to install app-debug.apk on your device via adb, but the apk itself has been generated.

If changing gradle version does not help, you can always try adb install android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk.

OpenGG picture OpenGG on 12 May 2016

I think it has to do with a permission problem on the device.

As far as I know the gradle plugin copies the apk on the device first and then installs it with "adb shell pm install", which doesn't work.

Could you try running
adb shell ls -l /data
adb shell ls -l /data/local
adb shell ls -l /data/local/tmp

to check the permissions.

By the way, I'm using com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0 and just install the app with Android Studio.

fab1an picture fab1an on 12 May 2016

For react-native Examples:

Step 1: Change react-native/build.gradle version to 1.2.3

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'

Step 2: Change react-native/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.2-all.zip

Interesting update:

I wasn't able to get the build process to deploy to an Android 7.0 device (Nexus 5x) when using gradle 1.2.*. Once I updated it to gradle 1.3.1, I can deploy to the Nexus device again.

It works with gradle version 1.2.3, but the original default version is 1.3.1.

@DysaniazzZ did u also downgrade your react-native version?

@ponty96, not entirely sure what the root cause is, but this worked for me:

  • Open the android/ folder as an existing project in Android Studio
  • Run the project and select a target device to deploy to
  • Open a command line in the root folder of your react-native project
  • Run react-native start to start the react package server
  • Force reload the package from the app running on your device

@ponty96 Nope, I just downgrade the gradle version and it works.

I created a project in react native

my androidbuild.gradle has classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'

when i am running command

react-native run-android apk generated but not uploaded on the connected device

but when i am running command adb install -r ./android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk apk uploaded and working fine

also when i change my androidbuild.gradle classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0' to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3' react-native run-android works fine for me but some plugin are not working

@atulrpandey

Changing the gradle version to 1.2.3 in android/build.gradle worked for me too.

Same here, fixed with 1.2.3 in android/build.gradle, but it works with the lasted with other devices, so I think this is related somehow in the android version running at the target device

I had the same issue when running react-native run-android on the AwesomeApp tutorial with an avd emulator.

I fixed it by recreating a new emulator with the proper CPU/ABI: Intel Atom (x86_64).

I didn't need to change Gradle version.

You might want to uninstall the application from your device, and react-native run-android again. Somehow, this fixed for me when I received the error

I had to type:
adb kill-server
adb connect 192.168.0.14:5555

Wait a moment then run:

adb devices

This will show you the DEVICE_ID (which i'm gonna call XYZ) of your device running android. It is usually its IP adress followed by the port 5555 (usually, not always).

react-native run-android --deviceId XYZ

The important part was the --deviceId XYZ. Without this, the apk would never get uploaded to the phone.

Then, the app launched with a red screen... i had to shake it, dev settings, adjust the "debug server host & port for device", putting my computer's IP address and port, like this:

192.168.0.15:8081

Lastly, i had to shake my phone again and select REALOD...

it worked for me!

@thiagoufg thank you so much! Really works with --deviceId from adb devices, without gradle version fix.

@thiagoufg thanks for steps, it worked for me. but still giving me error when reload:

couldn't connect to development server

Edit: I got it fixed, i was mis-understanding by putting mobile_device IP instead of laptop IP :)
after changing everything goes very well

@thiagoufg this is the lonly solution that worked for me, thank you !

I solved the problem putting --deviceId right after react-native run-android

@thiagoufg your solution works for me putting --deviceId right after react-native run-android

WilliamAnputra picture WilliamAnputra on 8 Aug 2017

Guys & Girls, I faced in the same issues during one night and the solution it's OFTEN to check dependencies linked in your project.

If you have removed package in your package.json and previously linked with react-native link he will not removed every times removed from android/app/build.gradle, android/app/src/main/java/com/wespeek/MainApplication.java and android/settings.gradle...

So the solution is :
run adb devices if your device are connected, you can go to the next step else connect your device

I assume your device is connected, so check :

1 ) edit file "android/app/src/main/java/com/wespeek/MainApplication.java" and remove import & new packageName()

2) edit file "android/app/build.gradle" and check dependencies, remove compile "packageNameUnUsed"

3) edit file "android/settings.gradle" and remove "include 'packageNameUnUsed'
project(':packageNameUnUsed').projectDir = ..."

4) run `cd android && ./gradlew :app:installDebug" if build succeed you can now run react-native run-android and this will startup build on your device.
Hope i can help you all ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽ‰
