My application won't install on jellybean phones


I've been building an application, and it works fine on all the ICS phones I've tried to install it on. However, when I try to install the apk on my friend's new Jelly Bean phone, it just says "Application not installed". I've set his device to not verify installs and I've made sure his install applications not from google play option is checked.

In the actual code, I have the minimum api set to 14, and the target set to 17. Still I can't get it to install.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?


Solution

  • The apk needs to be signed. You can do this from Eclipse: right click on your project -> Android -> Export Signed Application package. More info here: http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html.
