In sample project also, sometimes it works fine but not sometimes.

This sounds like you are hitting this issue: #5001

This fix is in the 16.8 preview.

The workaround is to Clean or Rebuild if you hit this. If that doesn't help, can you share a diagnostic MSBuild log? Thanks!

[SaravanaPandian0905]

I am not sure my issue is similar to #5001.
Anyway, please have a look at the attached build log file once and suggest me a solution if there is any.

MSBuild_Log.txt

Thanks in Advance !!!...

[jonathanpeppers]

Can you share the broken .apk file?

I suspect it isn't able to install with adb install YourApp-Signed.apk either, but I'm not seeing what went wrong in the logs.
