@Jarvan , @LeonLu can you please help me to figure it out how to solve the above issue
@subramanyamnuggu
What is the package name? Make sure it does not contain uppercase characters.
Hi @Jarvan
I have tried even that but still its not getting installed
@subramanyamnuggu
Have you tried installing the app on android 7.0 or higher? How about it? Try the method in following links.

@Jarvan Yes its getting installed in android 7 and higher versions
Have you tried to create a new android emulator 6.0. If it doesn't work, would you mind sharing a basic demo to reproduce the issue for a solution?
Hi,
@Jarvan , @LeonLu Is there any other possible way to solve this issue because its getting installed in android 7, 8, 9 but not in Android 5.
