Error publishing on the Android market

Question

I am an Android developer. As part of my work, I have to download a new version of our application daily.

The problem for almost three to four weeks. I get the following error every time I try to upload to the market.

The server could not process your apk. Try again. 

After retrying the download almost 20 times, the application loads. Can someone explain what is happening and whether the problem is mine or in the Android market. Pls give me a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Sniper

Answer 1

I think the problem arose because of many different applications trying to load at the same time. Try downloading at a different time.

Answer 2

Off topic: Am I the only one who thinks that downloading a new version every day is redundant? Do you add new features every day?

Back to the topic: Last week, a common problem arose in the market.

Have you changed your signature certificate?

Answer 3

If you correctly follow the rules for downloading applications, that is, you manage the correct VersionCode and VersionName code and the signature of the application with the same keystore, that the problem may be on the Android Market side.

I also encountered a problem when loading my application to the market, that is, my application is loading (updating) to the market, but the update is not visible until 5-7 hours.

Answer 4

Assuming you don’t need to change anything in apk and just delete the update ~ 20 times until it works, then there is a problem on the server.

If you try to send the same file twice, and it works only once, the problem is almost guaranteed on the server.

BUT

If you change anything about apk, this may be a problem on your side. If the file name is changed or the version code is changed, then this is most likely to be a problem. Even if apk rebuilds between failed downloads and successful downloads, then there are other factors, and this may not be the server.

Have you checked any empty tags in AndroidManifest.xml? Its worth checking out.
