I recently ran into the error "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED" while trying to run my android project on Emulator,
[2014-11-19 15:28:41 - AndroidApp] Android Launch!
[2014-11-19 15:28:41 - AndroidApp] adb is running normally.
[2014-11-19 15:28:41 - AndroidApp] Performing com.example.android.MainActivity activity launch
[2014-11-19 15:28:41 - AndroidApp] Automatic Target Mode: Unable to detect device compatibility. Please select a target device.
[2014-11-19 15:28:42 - AndroidApp] Uploading AppName.apk onto device S0708552ae
[2014-11-19 15:28:43 - AndroidApp] Installing AppName.apk...
[2014-11-19 15:28:43 - AndroidApp] Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED
[2014-11-19 15:28:43 - AndroidApp] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2014-11-19 15:28:43 - AndroidApp] Launch canceled!There was nothing wrong (no stack traces or error messages) detected in logCats, nor there was an error in the Project folder itself.
But the error message is self-explanatory to point out that the Manifest file has malformed.
So just checked the AndroidManifest.xml file to look for the reason, I found that there was a tag with no attributes, I just removed it and the app worked fine.
I hope it helps someone who is facing such an issue.
