Unable to run APP

Upon running the app in android studio using the emulator , I get the following error

"Installation failed since the APK was either not signed, or signed incorrectly. If this is a Gradle-based project, then make sure the signing configuration is specified in the Gradle build script."

Hi Kartik,

I'd recommend cleaning your project, and build -> rebuild project. If that doesn't help, it may be a problem with your signing configuration.

I have already tried the rebuilding thing... Can u tell do I have to create some unique signing configuration or is there a way to automatically generate it...

You could try;

android {

    signingConfigs {

        release {

            storeFile file('android.keystore')
            storePassword "pwd"
            keyAlias "alias"
            keyPassword "pwd"
        }
    }

    buildTypes {

       release {

           signingConfig signingConfigs.release
       }
    }
}
