I'm getting "Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE" error while installing the application on my device today. It is working fine till yesterday, today only im facing this problem. I have deleted some files on my SD card, but still facing the issue. I'm sure it is not the issue with the space on SD card. Can anybody suggest how to resolve this.

It got resolved by having android:installLocation="preferExternal" for <manifest> tag of manifest file.

Like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="bros.imaq.demilic"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0"
    android:installLocation="preferExternal">

Thank you
