Corona app download from Google Play store won't complete with error: Error in package signing

Hi all,

I’ve published my corona app to the google play store but when I try to download my app onto my android phone from the store it complains:
 

Error with package signing

I used the corona simulator version 2013.2100 (2013.12.7) to build my app for android and used my private keystore to sign it using the corona build window. I made sure to select for Google Play store. I can successfully upload my app to the google play store and publish it. However, when I try to download it onto a phone it says there is an error with the package signing and will refuse to install it. 

I’ve manually installed the apk on the emulator and it installs just fine. I’ve also used this same keystore to publish an app that I built with the android sdk and it downloads fine from the google play store. 

Any ideas what is going on here? I have the 32 bit version of java 6 sdk installed as well as 64 bit version of java 7 sdk installed. I’ve checked my PATH and made sure there is no reference to java in it.

Posting the answer here for anyone who may run into a similar situation…

 

I noticed that when I opened a windows command prompt and typed in “java -version”
1) First thing wrong is that it recognized the java command!

  1. Second thing wrong is it came back with version 7 java!

 

So I uninstalled all Java 7 versions and then reopened a command window and tried “java -version” again. This time it didn’t recognize the java command, which means it was successfully removed from my path.

 

I then went through the corona build for android and uploaded it to the google play store. Everything seems to be working fine now  :) So somehow java 7 was still being used to sign it. Pesky java 7!!!
