Getting "Error installing app"

[john_holland]

Hi there,

Fitbit Studio is giving me the error "Error installing app" when I attempt to send an update to the Ionic. I receive no build errors and am able to push to the simulator perfectly well, but when using my phone and the Ionic, it fails. I did not have any trouble prior to a few days ago.

If it helps, this is the repo for the app, and I can provide any additional info that might be useful.

What's crumby too is that I want to publish this update, but refuse to if I can't test it on device!

Have you tried rebooting your device?

I would also try removing all side-loaded apps from the developer menu in the Fitbit mobile app.

Rebooting did nothing, though resetting to factory defaults worked. It's a little disappointing because it takes quite a while to re-update to OS2. Also there were a couple times when I could push a build to the device / phone sim, but not device and phone, then removing the app from the phone, and rerunning worked? A little strange, it works either way now.

Anyways, this isn't really an acceptable solution, so if this happens again, I'll try another route to fix it, (reinstalling the app, etc).

Off to test my app ... it's a sleep related test. One test I won't fail - good night!

This seems to be very common and it's very frustrating.

I tried installing my app around 20 times.

I'm getting this now, just re-installing from factory reset. Very irritating. Only wanted to test a small change!

Same issue with a clock sample ;-(

I had to do a factory reset.

I had to factory reset too. I'm just trying to test the output of the clock app in the templates to just start developing so far so bad lol
