| Error code (Hex) | Error code (Dec) | Error message/code | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0xC7D14FB5 | -942583883 | The app failed to install. | This error message is displayed when Intune cannot determine the root cause of the Android app installation error. No information was provided by Android during the failure. This error is returned when the APK download succeeded, but the app installation failed. This error may occur more commonly due to a bad APK file that cannot be installed onto the device. A possible cause can be when Google Play Protect blocks the install of the app due to security concerns. Another possible cause of this error is when a device does not support the app. For example, if the app requires API version 21+ and the device currently has API version 19. Intune returns this error for both DA and KNOX devices and although there may be a notification that users can click to retry, if there is an issue with the APK, it will never continue to fail. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. |
| 0xC7D14FBA | -942583878 | The app installation was canceled because the installation (APK) file was deleted after download, but before installation. | The download of the APK succeeded, but before the user installed the app the file was removed from the device. This could happen if there was a large time difference between download and install. For example, the user canceled the original install, waited, and then clicked the notification to try again. This error message is returned this for only DA scenarios. KNOX scenarios can be done silently. We do present a notification to retry so the user can accept instead of cancel. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. |
| 0xC7D14FBB | -942583877 | The app installation was canceled because the process was restarted during installation. | The device was rebooted during the APK installation process, resulting in a canceled installation. This error message is returned for both DA and KNOX devices. Intune presents a notification that users can click to retry. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. |
| 0x87D1041C | -2016345060 | The application was not detected after installation completed successfully. | The user explicitly uninstalled the app. This error is not returned from the client. It is an error produced when the app was installed at one point, but then the user uninstalled it. This error should only occur for required applications. Users can uninstall non-required apps. This error can only happen in DA. KNOX blocks the uninstall of managed apps. The next sync will repost the notification on the device for the user to install. The user can ignore the notification. This error will continue to be reported until the user installs the app. |
| 0xC7D14FB2 | -942583886 | The download failed because of an unknown error. | This error occurs when the download fails. This error can commonly occur due to Wi-Fi issues or slow connections. This error is returned for only DA scenarios. For KNOX scenarios, the user is not prompted to install, this can be done silently. Intune presents a notification that users can click to retry. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. |
| 0xC7D15078 | -942583688 | The download failed because of an unknown error. The policy will be retried the next time the device syncs. | This error occurs when the download fails. This error can commonly occur due to Wi-Fi issues or slow connections. This error is returned for only DA scenarios. For KNOX scenarios, the user is not prompted to install, this can be done silently. |
| 0xC7D14FB1 | -942583887 | The end user canceled the app installation. | The user explicitly uninstalled the app. This error is returned when the Android OS install activity was canceled by the user. The user pressed the cancel button when the OS install prompt was presented or clicked away from the prompt. This error is returned for only DA scenarios. For KNOX scenarios, the user is not prompted to install, this can be done silently. Intune presents a notification that users can click to retry. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. Ask the user not to cancel the install. |
| 0xC7D15015 | -942583787 | The file download process was unexpectedly stopped. | The OS stopped the download process before it was complete. This error can occur when the device has low battery or the download is taking too long. This error is returned for only DA scenarios. For KNOX scenarios, the user is not prompted to install, this can be done silently. Intune presents a notification that users can click to retry. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. Ensure the device has a reliable network connection. |
| 0xC7D1507C | -942583684 | The file download service was unexpectedly stopped. The policy will be retried the next time the device syncs. | The OS ended the download process before it was completed. This error can occur when the device has low battery or the download is taking too long. This error is returned for only DA scenarios. For KNOX scenarios, the user is not prompted to install, this can be done silently. Manually sync the device or wait for 24 hours and check the status. |
| 0xc7d14fb8 | -942583880 | The app failed to uninstall. | This error is a generic uninstall failure. The OS did not specify why the app failed to uninstall. Some admin apps cannot simply be uninstalled. Check to ensure the app can be uninstalled manually and collect the Company Portal logs if the uninstall fails. |
| 0xc7d14fb7 | -942583881 | The app installation APK file used for the upgrade does not match the signature for the current app on the device. | Android OS has the limitation of requiring the signing cert for the upgrade version to be exactly the same as the cert used to sign the existing version. If the developer cannot use the same cert to sign the new version, you will need to uninstall the existing app and re-deploy the new app rather than upgrade the existing app. |
| 0xc7d14fb9 | -942583879 | The end user canceled the app installation. | Educate the user to accept the Intune deployed app and install the app when prompted. |
| 0xc7d14fbc | -942583876 | Uninstall of the app was canceled because the process was restarted during installation. | The app install process was terminated by the OS or the device was restarted. Retry the install and collect Company Portal logs if this error occurs again. |
| 0xc7d14fb6 | -942583882 | The app installation APK file cannot be installed because it was not signed. | By default, Android OS requires apps to be signed. Ensure the app is signed before deployment. |
| 0xC7D14FB1 | -942583887 | The end user canceled the app installation. | The user explicitly uninstalled the app. This error is returned when the Android OS install activity was canceled by the user. The user pressed the cancel button when the OS install prompt was presented or clicked away from the prompt. This error is returned for only DA scenarios. For KNOX scenarios, the user is not prompted to install, this can be done silently. Intune presents a notification that users can click to retry. If the app is an available app, the notification can be dismissed. However, if the app is required, it cannot be dismissed. Ask the user not to cancel the install. |
| 0xC7D14FB9 | -942583879 | The end user canceled the app installation. (At the accept prompt) | Educate the user to accept the Intune deployed app and install the app when prompted. |
