-----------------------------------

             Summary: Obscure error when installing app
                 Key: CB-8582
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8582
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
            Reporter: Mike Hartington
            Priority: Minor


If you have a version of an app on the device already, and there is a difference in the versions, ant/android gives a pretty cryptic error. 

{code}
Installing app on device...

/Users/mhartington/GithubRepos/ionic/tmp/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:126
                    throw e;
                          ^
ERROR: Failed to launch application on device: ERROR: Failed to install apk to device: 	pkg: /data/local/tmp/CordovaApp-debug.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]

ERROR running one or more of the platforms: Error: /Users/mhartington/GithubRepos/ionic/tmp/platforms/android/cordova/run: Command failed with exit code 8
You may not have the required environment or OS to run this project
{code}

May be beneficial to provide a better error message for why install failed.
