Native Application Installation Error: FATAL_ERROR with "Success" Message

Original Created Apr 03, 2017 | Regeneration Apr 22, 2026

When attempting to install an application from Tizen IDE, I encounter the following error:

Cannot install application.

Error code: FATAL_ERROR
Error message: Success
Command: /usr/bin/pkgcmd -q -i -t tpk -p "/opt/usr/apps/tmp/org.example.sms_parsing-1.0.0-arm.tpk"
Management: Installation or uninstallation is not working temporarily.

I'm unable to determine the actual cause of this problem. The error message seems contradictory as it reports both a "FATAL_ERROR" and "Success."

Problem Understanding

The error occurs during TPK package installation through Tizen IDE, showing a confusing combination of "FATAL_ERROR" and "Success" messages. This typically indicates a system-level issue rather than a problem with the application itself.

Solution Methods

  1. Update Device Date and Time:

    • As reported by a community member, updating the device's date and time settings resolved this issue.
    • Navigate to: Settings → System → Date and time
    • Enable automatic date/time or manually set the correct values
    • Retry the installation process
  2. Check System Status:

    • Verify that the device isn't in a temporary maintenance state
    • Restart the device and try again
    • Ensure sufficient storage space is available
  3. Reinstall Tizen Studio:

    • If the issue persists, consider reinstalling Tizen Studio
    • Download the latest version from the official website

Additional Tips

  • This error often occurs due to system-level inconsistencies rather than application-specific issues
  • Always verify your development environment is properly configured
  • Check the Tizen device manager for any unusual status messages
  • For persistent issues, consult the official documentation or file a bug report
