Can't install apk file on my device

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello, 

I tried to install an apk file on my device but i get the message that the app is not installed. I tried it by uploading the apk to a webserver and then downloading it with my device. I also tried to copy it directly to my device but then i get the same message. 

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you.

Look the log and see what errors you are getting.

Hi, i tried the three options but the second en third options are not working. I also tried the first option but if i run in the console with adb i’m getting the following message: INSTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE while installing apps on target

What device is this? Are you sure it’s compatible with Corona’s required specifications here?

I have a Galaxy Y smartphone. 

I think that’s the problem. I searched for it and my smartphone has a ARMv6 processor.

And corona supports only deveices with an ARMv7 processor.

Hello @joerijacobs,

Is this the phone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Y

If so, this is a somewhat old phone with a processor that is not supported by Corona. ARMv6 devices are not supported, only ARMv7 (this has been true for quite some time).

Sorry I can’t help any further on this issue.
