I have been developing for android for some time and have never encountered the following problem.
I have inherited the code base that I am trying to move from a hockey application to a Google game. When I distribute the apk obtained from the bin directory everything works fine. However, when I export a signed apk, the application crashes that this or that class is not found. The classes in question are classes that I create myself. And they are in the main package; therefore, I do not see dependency problems.
Has anyone come across this type of problem when the bin apk is working fine but not a signed apk? I do not use proguard. And I use exclipse to export this application; similar to how I always exported other applications.
- The problem cannot be the key that is used for signing. As far as I know, if the key was damaged, it would not create apk at all.
The problem persists if I send apks mail or install them via USB.
