Deployment failed, Internal error

I am working on Xamarin Android Application.When I run my application I am getting this error :
error: Unexpected install output: pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.iKart.androidapplication-Signed.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]
My Package Name is : com.iKart.androidapplication
I have already uninstall my application from device using adb uninstall,still I am getting this error.
What is the solution ? Please Help!
This is my Menifest :

I have solved this Myself :
uninstall app from device and then run again.If it still not work then open Android SDK Command Prompt
(open Xamrin-studio > Tools > open a Android SDK Command Prompt)
then write following :
D:\Android\android-sdk> adb uninstall (Applicationpackagename)
you can get application package name from Androidmenifest file which is in properties folder.
This will definitely solve the error.
Thank you

You should rename you package name
from
com.iKart.androidapplication
to
com.ikart.androidapplication
notice capital K is changd to small k
Go to settings and app and make sure any app with same package name is not installed try to reinstall again using adb install -r ikart.apk

There are possible solution based on different scenario
Case 1: Uninstalling an app does sometimes leave the data folder behind we need to manually uninstall the app folder from "Application Manager"
Case 2: In case app uninstalled and don't see the app folder [with the app package name] then we need to use adb commands to uninstall these folders. Use [adb shell pm list packages] command which will show a list of all packages available in the device. If you see your app package in the list then run another adb command to remove [adb shell pm uninstall package name]
Case 3: If none of these works then we need to check the options provided by the Xamarin studio. Enable Shared mono runtime under project options.
Hopefully one of these should resolve your issue.

I think you have a problem with facebook activity. this is how you correctly write it:
<activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
android:label="#string/app_name" />
<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"
android:value="#string/app_id" />
<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider[your app_id (without brackets)]"
android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"
android:exported="true" />

In the AndroidManifest.xml settings change the "Install Location" from Default to auto

In my case uninstalling all the previous apps that I had installed using Xamarin on the device solved the problem.

Filter log by text?

I am using adb shell logcat -v time filename command programmatically to store logs into a file on an android device.
There are some internal logs for memory releasing activities which are stored under " dalvikvm " tag. (See the logs below). I don't have any problem with these logs but due to these logs, the log file gets heavier.
So my concern is reduce logs which have GC_CONCURRENT freed or WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC text in it.
I also tried to reduce logs by using it's tag, but it removes all logs related to that tag. I don't want to loose required tags under same tag name. I just don't want the logs which have GC_CONCURRENT freed or WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC text in it.
Is there any way or any adb command to resolve this problem. Thanks in advance.

EDIT
I am using
adb shell logcat -v time | grep -v \"GC_CONCURRENT\\|WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC\" > " + filename command.
It was working when I gave filename as my computer's local path.
But when I tried same with android device /data/data/packagename/filename.txt, it was not working.
It says that bash: /data/data/packagename/filename.txt : No such file or directory Can anybody suggest solution for that.

Don't forget that you can use host side utilities with the output from logcat. I would recommend using grep. In particular, with it's -v/--invert-match option.
adb logcat | grep -v "GC_CONCURRENT\|WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC" > filename

The command to print specific logs using tag names. *:S which dont read logs related to GC_CONCURRENT freed and WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC
Syntax
adb logcat TAG_NAME:PRIORITY
Below line displays only logs with ActivityManager, MY_CUSTOM_TAG.. tags
adb logcat ActivityManager:I MY_CUSTOM_TAG:D ANOTHER_CUST_TAG:D *:S
S — Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)

UPDATED Missed dumping to file.
Dump to file
`adb logcat -d ActivityManager:I MY_CUSTOM_TAG:D ANOTHER_CUST_TAG:D *:S > filename.txt`

Can't deploy Unity Android project to Kindle Fire any longer

I have a Unity project that is already successfully distributed via Google Play and Amazon Store. It runs on all the Kindle Fire devices as well. Now I have a new version, but for the life of me I can't get it to run on my Kindle Fire test device. Once I build & run, it just stops on a black screen, and the log leaves me scratching my head what might go wrong here. This is all the log being created throughout the start sequence:

The same project just deployed to a Nexus 7 just runs fine, even with the Amazon SDK/GameCircle setup. I already updated all the Android SDKs and the Amazon Unity Plugin, but no change. I've reset the Kindle to factory defaults and tried to install on a fresh machine, but no change. It just won't run. Any ideas how to track that down appreciated!

Answering myself:
You need at least Unity patch 4.6.1p1 from http://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases. It has the following fix:
(654591) - Android: Fixed freeze during startup on most Amazon Kindle devices.
Note that these patches are not advertised automatically. The latest announced and automatic update was. 4.6.1f1, so it requires you to take explicit action.
Regards, habitoti

Confirmed. 4.6.1p1 fixes the problem. (I think habitoti made a typo with the version)
My previous .apk only worked on the Kindle Fire HDX and not the Kindle Fire HD or original Kindle Fire.

INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT error when installing stock ICS Launcher on Samsung Galaxy S3

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've built the stock AOSP ICS Launcher2 app. I then tried to install the apk via "adb install" but I get an "INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT" error when I do that. The device logcat is as follows:

You need to increase the Android emulator's memory capacity, there are 2 ways for that:
1- Right click the root of your Android Project, go to "Run As" then go to "Run Configurations..." locate the "Android Application" node in the tree at the left, then select your project and go to the "Target" tab on the right side of the window look down for the "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" field (sometimes you'll need to make the window larger) and finally paste "-partition-size 1024" there. Click Apply and then Run to use your emulator.
2- Go to Eclipse's Preferences, then Select “Launch” Add “-partition-size 1024” on the “Default emulator option” field, then click “Apply” and use your emulator as usual.

I got an installation error, and don't know what to do

When I run my application it does not launch, and shows me this message in Console:
[2012-05-20 17:36:58 - TravelersDictionary] Installation error:
INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE
[2012-05-20 17:36:58 - TravelersDictionary] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2012-05-20 17:36:58 - TravelersDictionary] Launch canceled!
I did check my Logcat but there is nothing written in red.
Here is the last 5 logcat messages:
05-20 14:37:36.520: D/ExchangeService(438): Received deviceId from Email app: androidc259148960

You get the next error: Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE and as the error said you don't have enough space in your device to install the app, therefore delete some unwanted apps and other data and try again.

it seems that your device is running out of internal storage space, where the application are typically installed. You have two options. Remove some application, or, since you are developing, if you are is going to target API level grater than 8 (Android 2.2), you can set the android:installLocation="preferExternal", in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Android will try to install the application in the external storage, as the doc says:
If you declare "preferExternal", you request that your application be
installed on the external storage, but the system does not guarantee
that your application will be installed on the external storage. If
the external storage is full, the system will install it on the
internal storage.
