can not install apk on Galaxy S 2

I am so sorry to open a new topic about that which does not sound so new as I read the android forum but I can not find any clue to solve my problem.
So, if someone encountered the same problem, I would be glad to share with.

I have the latest Samsung Galaxy S2 as a target for my dev.

It is a Processeur Dual-Core Samsung 1.2 GHz, which sounds great but I do not know if it means ARM6 or 7, with android 2.3.6 installed.

I have made some builds with the corona debug keystore but also with one I have created.

I have copied the apk file in the download folder of my phone, then, I have clicked on it to install.

A progress bar appears and goes to the end, but a message always says “application not installed”.

I really not know what to do. There should be a solution, but far from me by now.

Also, it seems that Samsung sells two different versions of the same iphone : one with a samsung processor and another with a Texas Instrument processor (wich is the case in France since the start of 2012, mine is a Texas Instrument). Maybe the Texas Instrument is a ARM 6 ?

Regards,

Frédéric

Did you made a specific build.settings or config.lia specific files ?

I have catched an error message while installing via adb :

[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Although, I have choosen a certificate while building with corona.

Where should I put a certificat file ?

The bad adventure continues…

With adb, i could catch some others messages :

Package com.afkcs.vcp has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml; ignoring!

It seems that the certificate is not included in the package ? or has no entry in the Android Manifest.xml ?

Solved but no explanation :

1/ I have copied all the files and folders in a new folder
2/ renamed the folder

built

and tada it works.

I will never know why stricly the same files do not work in the other folder.

But if you encounter this problem, do not try to understand, just duplicate your folder elsewhere and it should work :wink:
