  <hr>
  
  <p>If I try to build the app, it builds just fine and I get the APKs but if I try to run from Android Studio directly on my device, I get the above error.
  How to fix it?</p>
  
  <p>I am facing this error since a long time. I am currently testing by debug versions by manually building the apk and then transferring it to the phone.
  The "run" button directly gives me the above error.</p>
