In this post , we will see How To Fix - "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES" Error in Android Studio. You see the below error in your Android Studio


Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: INSTALL\_PARSE\_FAILED\_NO\_CERTIFICATES

After developing an Android App , the obvious next step is to publish it for public use. However to publish the App on Playstore , you do need to sign the app in Android Studio. Hence it is a mandatory step.  

Option 1 - First Time User:

If you are using installing and setting up your Android Studio for the "First time", you might have created a demo app in the process flow. Sometimes initially when you are setting up the Android Studio environment for the first time, things get a bit messed up while running the demo app in emulator . This leads to logging the error - "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES". So try the below steps to fix -

  • Click File --> Open --> Note the Folder Location. This folder holds the project files of the demo app that you have created.
  • Close the Android Studio
  • Go to the Folder Location and delete the project folder and all the files therein (Here I am assuming it is just a first initial demo app project - not something immensely IMPORTANT or crucial)
  • Open the Android Studio now ---> Start New Project ----> Create demo app again
  • Run the app through the android emulator again. Hopefully this time the error should vanish by now.
   

Option 2 - Build using "Make Project":

  • Use the options from the Menu
Build ----> Make Project The "Make Project" option is one of the build-variant . It Makes all the modules as part of the Build option to compile.    

Option 3 - Signature Configuration:

The Signature configuration can also cause this issue especially if you are still using an older version of Android. The older signature scheme V1 signs just the JAR. The later signature scheme V2 signs the entire APK. For Older version of Android Studio , to solve this issue , get the APK signed with both of these schemes by checking both signature version boxes in Android Studio's Generate Signed APK dialog .   For Latest Versions of Android Studio , to Solve this issue , use the below steps - I am assuming that you don't already have an upload key. So Let's generate one key using Android Studio as follows:

  • Go Menu ---> Build ----> Generate Signed Bundle/APK.
  • A Dialog will popup. Select Android App Bundle or APK ----> click Next.
  • In the new popup, below the field for Key store path , click Create new.
  • A new window will popup. In this New Key Store window, provide the information for keystore and key
    • Key store path: Location where keystore should be created.
    • Password: Password for keystore.
    • Alias: Use some name for your key.
    • Password: Use some secure password for your key - Different from the keystore password.
    • Validity (years):  key validity in years. Key should be valid for at least 25 years . This would help you to sign app updates with the same key for many years.
    • Certificate: Use info about yourself . This information will not be displayed in the app, but will be included in the certificate as part of the APK.
  • All done - click OK.
  If you already have the key , export an existing app signing key, follow these steps:

  • Go to Build > Generate Signed Bundle/APK.
  • Select either Android App Bundle or APK and click Next.
  • Select Module from the drop down.
  • Use the path to your keystore, the alias for your key and passwords.
  • Click Next.
  • Next window , Give Destination folder name for signed app.
  • Choose build type.
  • Click Finish.
  Hope this helps to fix the issue.
