Build failed with an exception: Execution failed for task ':app:installDebug'.

Is this a bug report?

yes

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines?

yes

Environment

1. react-native -v: 0.47.2 (react-native-cli: 2.0.1)
2. node -v: v6.11.0
3. npm -v: 5.3.0

• Target Platform: Android Device (iBall Slide Twinkle i5 - Android v5.1)
• Development Operating System: macOS v10.12.5

Steps to Reproduce

1. I connected my Android device to my MacBook (via USB cable).
2. Created a new default react-native app.
3. I went inside my react-native project (via terminal) and did:

adb devices

and I got following output:

List of devices attached 0123456789ABCDEF device

Which means that I do have my device successfully connected.

1. Then I did:

react-native run-android

Expected Behavior

The app should have launched in my Android Device.

Actual Behavior

I got an error that predominantly said:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:installDebug'.
com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: Failed to install all

:app:installDebug FAILED    

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

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

IMPORTANT:

1. The app launched successfully in my iOS emulator with

   react-native run-ios

2. The app is also able to get successfully deployed and is running on my other Android device (OnePlus 2 - v6.0.1). So the app is not working on my iBall Android Device only.

3. I created other new react-native projects as well. They are all showing same error when launched on my iBall device, and are running perfectly on other device (OnePlus2 and iOS emulator).

Have run into the same issue on my Huawei RIO-L02 (Android 5.1). App works my on my Samsung Note 3. Workaround that worked for me is to specify the --deviceId option: react-native run-androind --deviceId XXxx (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39518928/gradle-error-while-uploading-app-local-debug-apk-unknown-failure-cdsclose )

@andrewasfa TYPO: react-native run-android --deviceId XXxx
