Android: INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI

When installing Apps in my Android phone using ADB (via Eclipse internally, or via command line tool), i’ve found the following error:

1914 KB/s (4580896 bytes in 2.337s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/package.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI]

It seems to appear mostly on rooted phones (mine is). The solution is to change permissions to directory

/data/local

from rwxrwxr– to rwxrwxrwx.

This should do the trick 🙂 at least i’m able to install APK’s from now on.

Hope it helps!
