Once I switch my target api to 'Q' I cannot install the APK on Android Q Emulator. I get error:
Failed to finalize session : INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-2
Android Studio (v3.3.2) recommends I uninstall apk first. I tried uninstalling apk and I still get the same error. App work if I downgrade target api to 28.
This happens because of an issue with zipalign, see - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37045367. You need to set extractNativeLibs in your Application Tag on AndroidManifest.xml
<application android:allowBackup="false" android:label="@string/app_name" android:extractNativeLibs="true" ... > If you are using adb to install the apk try adding -t flag
adb install -t <path-to-apk> 
If you want android:extractNativeLibs="false", use zipalign with -p key in order to page align ELFs within ZIP:
zipalign -p 4 app.apk app-aligned.apk For my case I solved it by adding block codes below into build.gradle inside android block.
android { ... packagingOptions { jniLibs { useLegacyPackaging true } } } Faced similar sort of error while upgrading sdk 33 to 34. As suggested, we should use useLegacyPackaging inside build.gradle rather than android:extractNativeLibs in AndroidManifest.
When i updated build.gradle with useLegacyPackaging true, able to install apk .
I also got this error in AWS Device Farm. Turns out they have sdk version 21 installed and my minSdkVersion was set to 24. Lowering my minSdkVersion to 21 resolved this. This error was getting returned on trying to install apk on the test device. Hope this helps for anyone else setting up device farm on android.
Finally, after trying all the answers which didn't work out, I found a solution that worked for me.
Remember, if you are running it on the emulator/device, the minSDK value should match with the Android SDK number installed in that emulator/device.
In my case, I was using vanillaIcecream Android version, so I changed the minSDK value to 35. Hence, just change the minSDK value in the app/build.gradle file to the required value and see the magic!
In my case I was not using latest gradle version and compatible android version in emulator.
Here the detailed step by step solution 
- Change the Android Manifest file accordingly. add the line :
android:extractNativeLibs="true"path:android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
- Change the app level build.gradle file accordingly.
android { namespace = "com.example.driving_test" compileSdk = flutter.compileSdkVersion ndkVersion = flutter.ndkVersion packagingOptions { jniLibs { useLegacyPackaging = true } } path:
android/app/build.gradle
I was getting this after upgrading minSdk from 21 to 26, and only when running APK on Android 15 16kb page size emulator.
Solution was to add useLegacyPackaging in build.gradle
jniLibs { useLegacyPackaging = true } Whether to use the legacy convention of compressing all .so files in the APK. If null, .so files will be uncompressed and page-aligned when minSdk >= 23. So I guess it's the combo of these
minsdk was updated 21 -> 26
native library in project (which is already compiled with pagesize 16)
16kb page size target device
v34 buildtools and gradle 8.1.4 not supporting fully packaging 16kb compatible package
I guess upgrading newer gradle+tools would fix it as well.
In my case,my issue was related to the emulator I was using
Device: Resizable (Experimental) API 35
Using the same system image on Pixel Fold, the app was able to install without any issues.
