If you are here you probably had the issue from the title the error\u00a0INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED when you want to install for debug the app from Eclipse or Android Studio.<\/p>\n
I had this issue yesterday and after hours of browsing the stackoverflow and groups and forums I found 3 methods to fix this.<\/p>\n
1. if you test on an emulator<\/strong> then you just have to\u00a0Clear\/Wipe the AVD to defaults or create a new one.<\/p>\n 2. you are on a real device. If you have root access to the device just go to folder<\/p>\n and delete it. You should ok now.<\/p>\n 3. Device with no ROOT Access. On internet there is just one single method to factory reset the device. If this is acceptable for you this is easy.<\/p>\n None of this methods was OK\u00a0for me. I was testing on a real device with NO-ROOT but I did not want to factory reset it.<\/p>\n My luck was to use GIT\u00a0git as version control and to commit changes after every successful debug install.<\/p>\n So to fix the error\u00a0INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED i did revert the source code to the last commit it worked. Push the build to the device and the install was successful. After this I did uninstalled the app from device (Settings->Application) and push the app from Android Studio with the lasted source.<\/p>\n In conclusion the error is happening when not all files are deleted before app reinstall. \u00a0Before having this error I did renamed a module in my source code and modified the manifest. And some other small code changes. So I do not exactly know witch changed the UID but reverting to the last source code that I know it worked manage to fix my device without ROOT.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are here you probably had the issue from the title the error\u00a0INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED when you want to install for debug the app from Eclipse or Android Studio.
