I had the Same issue on a MAC, this is how I solve it, note: I was tried the method that mention @Manoj Kumar,

Un check this field in Preferences/Build,Execution,Deployment/Debugger

Solution 2

1.Open run/debug configuration dialog:- Run> edit configurations.

Navigate to You app > General > Installation Options > Install Flags.
add install flags -r -t.

Note: This flags means adb install -r -t apk path

I hope this will help.

Solution 3

Restarting the device after enabling developer mode and allowing usb debugging did the trick for me.

Solution 4

For me, restarting the Android Studio solved the issue.

File> Invalidate Cache / Restart

Solution 5

You has installed the app which has same package name with different debug signature file.
The different signature file lead to the fault
At first please uninstall the apk that you has installed with different signature file。
Then you install the apk again ,You'll sucess!
