Being unable to run the Xamarin project on Visual Studio.

When I tried to run the Xamarin project on Visual Studio version 17.9.0 preview 2.0, I could not run it on Visual Studio. I am facing the below error.

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Installation of the app failed.

I tried to solve with some of the ways but got the same error mentioned above:

  1. Deleting .vs, obj, and bin folders on the project and from Visual Studio, I tried to clean and rebuild the solution.
  2. After deleting and checkout the project again.
  3. I changed the bundle format to APK from properties and tried to rerun the project.

Below is the output box log:

Installation of the app failed. com.android.tools.build.bundletool.model.exceptions.CommandExecutionException: Installation of the app failed. at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.model.exceptions.InternalExceptionBuilder.build(InternalExceptionBuilder.java:57) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.device.DdmlibDevice.installApks(DdmlibDevice.java:192) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.commands.InstallApksCommand.lambda$execute$1(InstallApksCommand.java:212) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.device.AdbRunner.run(AdbRunner.java:81) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.device.AdbRunner.run(AdbRunner.java:61) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.commands.InstallApksCommand.execute(InstallApksCommand.java:211) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.BundleToolMain.main(BundleToolMain.java:91) at com.android.tools.build.bundletool.BundleToolMain.main(BundleToolMain.java:49) Caused by: com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: Failed to commit install session 393466168 with command cmd package install-commit 393466168.

Build FAILED.

I tried uninstall and reinstall but no luck.

I have tried different solutions to fix this issue, but they didn't help. Can you please provide me with a solution to resolve this issue?
