Research direction
Run the reported ns run android command with a manifest that is not ready for Android S and compare the CLI output with the adb stderr shown in the issue. Trace where the INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED result is converted into the generic parser message; done when the actionable Android installation error is surfaced to the user.
