Can't install any of the Android APK's created by the build process onto a device

I have tried several different projects, including some of test projects, but nothing will install on my HTC Desire HD.

I have tried installing through HTC sync software and also by using on device 3rd party installation software, which just gives me the very helpful “Application NOT installed” error…

Is there any sort of debug or log file i can look at to try and diagnose the problem ?? If so where can this file be found?

Any help or ideas much appreciated on this …

Thanks.

Just an update on this …

I have tried the .apk on a couple of android devices and it will not install on any of them (all have arm7 processors and at least android 2.2). This indicates to me that the problem is with the apk file itself…

Could there be some-kind of settings on my computer that cause corrupt apk files to be produced by the corona build process?

Has there been server issues?

I repeated this problem not only with my code but with the online samples, including the very basic “hello world”, therefore I’m pretty sure its not my code that is the cause of this…

Again, any help is really appreciated as I’ve hit a brick wall with this and cant think of anything else to try… *sad face*

we are in a similar state. I am not even sure how this will be installed on a device as i have tried several devices and reached a wall. what are other members on this forum testing their apks with? samsung galaxy tab? samsung S1 or S2? I am not sure or confident of testing the apk’s ? to begin with there are 5 different ways of doing so and each produces an error with no explanation.

So far the only thing that has produced similar symptoms on my case was having Java JDK 7 instead of version 6. Are you using the debugkey when building the app? Also, have you enabled debug mode on the android devices?
About the error log you can use the logcat option of adb (comes with Android SDK if you don’t have it). [import]uid: 61899 topic_id: 14002 reply_id: 51596[/import]

geral7, thank you so much.

I was indeed using Java 7, like a damn fool.

I switched to java6 and it started working pretty much straight away. I must have missed the instructions in my rush to make it work.

Thanks again, appreciate it !!!

Hello everyone,

Yes, there is indeed a problem with APKs built with JDK 7. APKs will build fine, but the issue is with how JDK 7 digitally “signs” the APK, which now uses an encryption that Android does not support, thus preventing installation.

Unfortunately, the release version of the Corona SDK will wrongly use JDK 7 to sign the APK. It’s unfortunate because the JDK 7 was just released last month and it didn’t make into our test cycle of the release version of the Corona SDK. That said, we’ve updated the newest daily build to ignore JDK 7 and warn users to install JDK 6 if not installed. This should prevent confusion in the future.
