Describe the issue below.

The script was backing up internal storage until I force a stop with "ctrl+c". Then I started again the script but now was precise download the APK because the aplication had deleted automatically. In this point, I stopped again the script's work and now I get the issue above.

In summary:

1- Start script 2- Force stop while backup 3- Start from the beginning 4- Force stop while download 5- Start from the beginning 6- Issue

Open Android Backup will install a companion app on your device, which will allow for contacts and other data to be backed up and restored. The companion app is open-source, and you can see what it's doing under the hood on GitHub. Companion app already downloaded. Attempting to uninstall companion app. Installing companion app. Performing Streamed Install adb: failed to install open-android-backup-companion.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Failed to parse /data/app/vmdl41105439.tmp/base.apk: AndroidManifest.xml]

I have tried restarting the smartphone but nothing change. I think the problem is the file mentioned in the output, maybe a corrupted file generated by force the stop while the download was in progress.

Could you please try redownloading the script again? It's possible that stopping it while it was doing something might've corrupted some files. Additionally, check if you can install the app manually by going to https://github.com/mrrfv/open-android-backup/releases/tag/v1.0.15 on your device and installing app-release.apk - if that works, then the problem might lie within the fact that you're using VirtualBox.
