App installation fails with ARGUMENT_INVALID error in Tizen SDK

Original Created Jun 07, 2016 | Regeneration Apr 22, 2026

I'm experiencing an issue where my app fails to install when I try to run it from Tizen SDK. The error message shows:

Error code: ARGUMENT_INVALID Management: Check the parameters of pkgcmd command.

Additionally, when I try to install the app using sdb with the command sdb install, I get another error: "failed to get package temporary path"

This problem started occurring after a recent update. Previously, I could install the app successfully through sdb first, then run it from the SDK. What could be causing this issue?

Problem Understanding

The user is facing two related installation issues:

  1. ARGUMENT_INVALID error when trying to run the app from Tizen SDK
  2. "failed to get package temporary path" error when using sdb install

These problems appeared after a system update and seem to be related to package installation parameters and temporary file paths.

Solution Methods

  1. Verify SDK and CLI Tool Versions:

    • Ensure your Tizen Studio and CLI tools are updated to the latest versions
    • Check for compatibility between your SDK version and target device's Tizen version
  2. Check Package Parameters:

    • Review your project's package configuration in the manifest file
    • Verify the package name and version format follows Tizen requirements
  3. Temporary Path Resolution:

    • Check available storage space on both your development machine and target device
    • Try clearing temporary files in the Tizen Studio workspace
    • Restart both the device and development environment
  4. Alternative Installation Method:

    • Try building the package manually using tizen build-package command
    • Then install using tizen install with proper parameters

Additional Tips

  • If you recently updated Tizen Studio, consider creating a new project to test if the issue persists
  • Check the Tizen Studio error log for more detailed information about the failure
  • Ensure your device's developer mode is properly enabled and connected
