Issue
I updated everything I can think of on my machine. The app builds fine to iOS and was able to release it to the store.
I removed and re-added the Android platform and tried various build flags. I get a BUILD SUCCESSFUL message with no errors. I generated a signed bundle with the same keystore. Everything looks good in Android Studio event log when I run app to a device or emulator. I get a Launch succeeded message. The app icon gets added to the device, but it never launches. When I tap the app icon, I get a toast message saying Application not installed.
I don’t see any errors anywhere. The app deployed fine for me 4 months ago. I’ve since updated my machine and can’t get it running again with the current configuration.
Any help would be appreciated!

Solution
I was finally able to solve this by rolling back to Android compile & target SDK 32. I noticed a new error about: Launchable activity must be exported. I had previously added a config hook to set the MainActvity to export=false. Upgrading Android required me to switch that to true. Lost 3 weeks of time upgrading the project and my machine to discover it was something simple. It works now though!
