Install Failed Insufficient Storage - Android

Post by Joe Kot » Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:38 pm

My app works fine running on my PC. But after I build the Android app and select the "Test" button I get the message
Failure [Install_Failed_Insufficient_Storage]. My app and everything is 26 meg. Any insights and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe

By default your app will install into system storage, which is limited on most devices. The message means that there isn't room there to add your app. The latest version of LiveCode adds the ability to install to the SD card, which almost always has a much larger storage capacity than the system partition. If you have the latest LiveCode, use the standalone settings to set your installation preference to install to external storage.

If you don't have LiveCode 5.01 then you'd need to remove enough apps from system storage on your device to make room. Your app is fairly large by Android standards.
