Adb install failure: INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER

Issue

I try to install app via adb and get a error:

$ ./adb -d install /Users/dimon/Projects/one-place/myprogram/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk -r -g
3704 KB/s (4595985 bytes in 1.211s)
    pkg: /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk
Failure [INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER]

In device I do nothing in this moment. Device is Xiaomi MI5, MIUI 7.2.13, Android 6.0. Developer mode enabled. How to fix this?

The same error I get when try to run "ionic run android" command.

UPD

Here is logs from 'adb logcat' command getting in moment of installation program:

I see when android-debug.apk creates, but I don't understand why it's not installs. Maybe the key strings is:

06-06 10:04:21.066  4553  4553 W asset   : Asset path /data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk is neither a directory nor file (type=0).
06-06 10:04:21.066  4553  4553 D AdbInstallActivity:  parsePackage is null , path ：/data/local/tmp/android-debug.apk

but this is not error strings, just warning and debug. Also strange line:

06-06 10:04:21.059  1497  2996 E ActivityManager: Invalid thumbnail dimensions: 0x0

but I don't know if it is a problem.

Also I tried to install via adb some other apps, not only self-written. But no results.

Solution

The same trouble with same device has been here.

So, it's Xiaomi trouble, and here is a solution for this problem:

1. Go to the "Security" application and tap "Options" at top right corner

2. Scroll down to "Feature Settings" group, and look for "Permissions"

3. At there switch off "Install via USB" option, which manages installation of the apps via USB and doesn't allow it.

On Latest Redmi Device

Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Developer options: Check the Install via USB option.

Good luck!
