ADB commandline Hanging during install (PhoneGap)

Question

My Phonegap app refuses to load onto my Android device (even the HellowWorld default app is refusing to load)

Everything was running just great until today. Here\'s

Answer 1

Had the same (original) issue (with cordova / testing on an old device) ie. hang during install.

Tried running adb install directly from cmd line ...

adb [-s ] install 

...and same issue so not cordova specific....

Opened android device monitor (ADM) ...

..sdk\tools>monitor

..and ran install from cmd line again and saw logcat message saying package was sdk 16 / device was 15...doh!

So went back to AndroidManifest.xml and changed android:minSdkVersion to 15 and all back to normal again - install worked fine.

( Issue arose because I had installed something else which had changed the minSdkVersion and then removed the something else and never reset the minSdkVersion )

So, possibly device sdk / android version is too low for your build. If not, a look at the ADM logcat output as you initiate the install from the command line might indicate what the issue is.
