Install failed: not enough storage
INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE
The device does not have room for the app — often even when the free-space figure looks like it should be enough.
Why it happens
An install needs space for the package, for the extracted native libraries, and for the ahead-of-time compiled code the system generates. That can be several times the size of the APK itself. Split bundles also need somewhere to stage every part before merging.
How to fix it
1. Free noticeably more than the app's size
As a rule of thumb, plan for two to three times the download. A 500 MB game can need well over a gigabyte during install.
2. Clear cached data first
Cached files across apps are usually the largest recoverable chunk and cost nothing to lose.
