    Okay I didn't find the reason for this error but the following steps helped me to fix it

    1. I followed the steps in this answer to completely uninstall AS

    2. I also found that I used two versions of ADB that's maybe causing conflicts when installing apps, so I decided to uninstall both (then install the newest one that is included with android studio)

    Note: the older ADB path was in %SystemDrive%adb

    1. After restarting the windows I installed a fresh version of AS

    Just wanted to chime in here, months later though I certainly am. In my own testing I HAVE found what I certainly BELIEVE to be the problem, though I, too, am following the solution laid out by @Dr Mido, above.

    The root cause appears to stem from one or both of the follow occurrences:

    1. Switching between emulators (like, for instance, Pixel 4 to Pixel 6) without letting the first one FULLY spool down. There appears to be some cached version of the base apk it’s attempting to load, but that has been destroyed by the re-launch. I think the reason that’s not manifestly obvious is the cache is located ON THE "DEVICE", not the system hard disk.

    "BS!" I can hear some saying. "I never switched emulators and it still happens to me!"

    1. Okay, well first off, you really SHOULD be testing on more than one device. But shelving that, changing BRANCHES appears to have the same net effect. If you’re using some kind of version control, then that’s behaving identically to switching emulators (if you’re NOT using any form of version control, then I’m sorry: you’re beyond helping). Still doubt? Do a full Wipe Data on the emulator, shut it down ENTIRELY, cold boot it, and reinstall.

    Best as I can ascertain, the error isn’t HURTING anything (other than, yanno, showcasing a wall of red text during product demos), but if one FULLY shuts down their emulator, follows the excellent advice of Dr Mido’s, above, AND one ensures all subsequent executions of the emulator have time to fully spool up and down, it should cease appearing (or at least, per my own testing, that’s how it’s worked out).

    Hope this helps someone!
