I created a simple custom application that we would like to bring to our sales phones. I developed it using Eclipse with the Android SDK, and it is written for the version for Android up to 1.5, and for the SDK min it is set to 3. I compiled the application with the private key (and not with the debug key), and everything compiles without errors. When I send an .apk file to multiple users for testing, they receive a parsing error when I click on the .apk file. The following is the contents of the log:
WARN / PackageInstaller (2873): Parse error while manifest parsing. Termination of installation
However, when one user opened the message in Gmail, they were given the opportunity to install .apk, and it installs and runs without problems.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to send the .apk file to the right people by email and install it directly from email? We also saved the .apk file on the SD card and tried to install it there with the same result. I found some suggestions on installing the file manager on the phone and using this to install from the SD card. However, the fewer steps, the better when you squeeze it for our members.
Any help would be really appreciated.
