You should have a look in the android logs for a more specific reason. Most of the time the reason for not being able to install an app is written down there.

Use adb logcat or the log window of Android Studio (which is also just adb logcat) to track down the issue.

I'm sorry, I can't understand the log, and there are too many logs.

In my main repository, with the same code, use android studio to build the apk, install and use, everything work fine. I'm looking forward to using command line packaging, it's easier and faster.

For me it looks like your apk is broken somehow. This is what the marked lines says. But I can not build your project. On the other side: you should really find out how to read android logfiles. And the internet says to this message: you are maybe signing your apk wrong. Is the debug version working?

On the other side: I dont think its related to Capacitor.

Thanks for your help.

Has anyone ever used "npx cap build" to get an apk that works on android 13? This command has never worked for me, and I'm not sure it works.

I will try to build apk using other way.
