I actually got that error about 4 times when I was trying to upload an app to the Google Market last night - It finally went through on the 5th attempt.

How many times have you tried? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 21217 reply_id: 84162[/import]

i uploaded already more than 30 times [import]uid: 106750 topic_id: 21217 reply_id: 84169[/import]

Yeah that’s pretty bad :S

I’d wait and try again at a different time of day perhaps - If there’s an actual issue with the APK I believe they tell you what it is. (They always have in my case, eg “Invalid version number”, etc.)

I have the same problem (tried it ~40 times) when trying to update my app. The first version went trough ok.

I have also used apktool to disassemble the apk and looked at the manifest (some forums claim that errors in the manifest may cause this) but everything looks good there afaik.

I’ll give it another ~60 tries. Did yours get trough in the end?

Hi,

I have same problem several times recently.

Today, I try Corona Build 704 and 595 and none of them work. I upload like 4 or 5 times and fail. I think maybe problem was my apk name was in Chinese. So I build my app with an English name. Well, it works.

I do not know the problem was cause by Google or Corona. Can you check it out?

PS => I need Chinese APK name support, so please do not get rid of it. [import]uid: 20999 topic_id: 21217 reply_id: 94642[/import]

I don’t work with Android myself but I can ask another member of the team and see if he has any insight on Chinese names :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 21217 reply_id: 94687[/import]

Bob,

That sounds like an issue on Google’s end. I remember that working for our customers in the past. You may be able to work-around this issue by doing the following:

  1. Build your app with a Chinese name like before.
  2. Rename the APK file to its English name.
  3. Upload your app.

Your app will still use its Chinese name because it is set in the AndroidManifest.xml file inside of the APK. The only difference being that we’re working around whatever unicode file name issues that Google might be having. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 21217 reply_id: 94858[/import]
