no cert error / cant install

Im still a “beginner” with apps and corona, but I mostly do iOS.
I have a corona app that was submitted to iOS with no issues.
But I think my android version is not working properly.

I built the apk and got it up on Google play but it seems to have a very limit device count (800ish).
I cant run this on my older test phone. I bought it just for testing. Its android 2.3 and I think its an armV7.
So from what I know it seems like the app should work.

I did get some help from a developer that showed me how to use eclipse to view the logcat from the phone.

E/PackageParser(149): Package com.my.app has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml; ignoring!

From what I gather that is a keystore/signing issue.

I thought I did it properly.

It doesnt work on my phone with debug build either. This is why I thought it was just not compatible with my phone.

So at this point I dont know what to do / what to check.

Any ideas?

Hi there, I don’t work with Android so can only offer limited insight at this page but what error do you get when you sign with the debug keystore? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 28099 reply_id: 113626[/import]

Thanks for the reply.
When I tried the debug signed apk, eclipse didnt show anything in the log.
I dont know enough to know if that is an issue in itself, or if that is normal for debug signed.

That sounds odd to me although as I said I don’t work with Android so I’m going to pass this on to Josh and see if he has any insights. (He’s the Android guru :)) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 28099 reply_id: 113713[/import]

An easier way to view the log is to use the DDMS tool that comes with the Android SDK. It’s a GUI tools that will show you a real-time log of your Android device connected to your computer via USB. Another way to do it is to use the “adb logcat” command line tool, which is what I use. I’ve never had a certificate error with either one of these tools, so I would use these instead.
