Please help - Parse error

Hello,

I’m trying to build and install my app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A. The build finishes successfully but when it tries to copy it to the device and launch I get this error message:

                   Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

                    

When I copy the .apk directly to the device and try to install it I get: “There was a problem parsing the package.”

This app runs fine in the simulator and I have installed it on numerous iOS devices. I’ve built a couple of test apps and they install just fine on the Samsung Galaxy. The name of the app is all lower-case letters so don’t think that’s the problem. The build.settings and config.lua seem to look okay. I’m using build 2992 and the current public release.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi mluca,

A possible scenario where this may occur is if you installed an app with package name A, then tried to installed a different app with package name A, but signed with a different keystore.

As a first step, I’d remove any Corona-made test applications from your device and then try installing this app again.

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for your response. It turned out the problem was that it was not recognizing that I was subscribed to the GoogleAnalytics plugin even though my account shows “activated”. I removed the plugin code and it works fine. Now I have to figure out how to make it work with the plugin but at least I’m happy that it installs.

Funny because I did a build on OSX with no errors but it would not install. I then tried to build it on Windows but it threw the error that gave me the clue to the problem.
