When attempting to install an application via ADB on Xiaomi devices, users might encounter the INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER error. This issue often arises due to specific security settings on Xiaomi devices that prevent the installation of apps via USB. Below is a comprehensive guide to resolving this problem.
Steps to Overcome INSTALL_CANCELED_BY_USER Error
Method 1: Adjust Security Settings
Follow these steps to modify your device’s security settings, which are often the root cause of the installation issue:
- Open the Security application on your Xiaomi device.
- Tap on Options located at the top right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down to the Feature Settings group and select Permissions.
- Disable the Install via USB option. This feature controls the installation of applications via USB and may block such operations.
Method 2: Enable Developer Options
If the above method does not resolve the issue, try enabling the Install via USB feature within Developer Options:
- Navigate to Settings on your Xiaomi device.
- Select Additional Settings.
- Open Developer Options.
- Enable the Install via USB toggle.
Method 3: Turn Off MIUI Optimization
For some users, turning off MIUI Optimization has solved the issue:
- Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options.
- Locate and disable the MIUI Optimization setting.
Additional Troubleshooting Tips
- Ensure that you are signed in to your MI account, as this may be required for certain settings to apply.
- Restart your device after making changes to the settings to ensure they take effect.
- Consider signing out of your MI account and signing back in, or creating a new account if problems persist.
