title: APK File doesn't exist
body: <p>I recently updated my android studio and have started getting this error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>The APK file \app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk does not exist on
  disk. Error while Installing APK</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>This is quite frustrating as I have tried everything I have come across online and nothing has worked.</p>
  <p>As far as I'm aware the path to the app-debug.apk is correct and it does exist. If anyone has some insight please help!</p>
  <h1>TEMPORARY FIXES</h1>
  <ol>
  <li>Running it in release mode does work. ~Thanks to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/5476346/umer-farooq">Umer Farooq</a></li>
  <li>Running it with a custom build variant also works and gives a little more freedom than just release mode. ~Thanks to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/7047583/prashant-sable">Prashant Shable</a></li>
  </ol>
  <p>These fixes are nice to get your current project running, but doesn't fix the original problem. Give these a try if nothing else works for you and you are sick of seeing the error. :)</p>
  <h1>PERSONAL FIX</h1>
  <p>I'd love to say it was complicated, but it really wasn't. I had a ' (special character) in my Users folder name. Apparently this was causing the problem. This was pointed out in the comments of the Answer by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/5476346/umer-farooq">Umer Farooq</a>.</p>
  <h1>Final Remarks</h1>
  <p>I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the help. I think all these answers will make a nice reference for future AS users with this problem.</p>
