Are you using the Debug Tab? If so, you won't actually be installing the apk - a special debug module is built for you, and your device must be connected via usb. (Assuming you are not building for Windows - then you would use the Test Tab and weinre.) With this setup, using the Debug Tab, you can set breakpoints and step through code. There is more information on this doc page: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-debug-and-test-overview
With every successful build, you can download the installable app (.apk, .ipa file, etc.) locally to your PC. The built apps are already platform specific zipped files. We currently don't provide the option to zip the file into a .zip file.
Also, when you build, you have the option to email your build to any email addresses that you want to. Build your app, then open your email on the device you want to test on, and click the build link from there to access the app.
You can test your application on your test device via the Debug tab which pushes a built app directly to your device for debug purposes. This should be a bit faster than going through the Build tab. Intel XDK relies on a network connection for all build targets.

This issue is related to your App Preview version installed on your device. I recommend downloading the latest version of App Preview for your Android device as this should resolve your issue.
The latest version of App Preview is available in the Google Play Store. If you already have the latest version installed and still experience this message, I recommend uninstalling the Google Play Store version of App Preview as there seems to be a conflict occurring on your device with these two App Preview apps.
