I try to deploy the Google IO Schedule app (http://code.google.com/p/iosched/), which runs fine on Motorola Xoom tablet (ICS 4.03), on my Nexus One (2.3), on emulator.
However, when I try to run it on Novo 7 Padalin Tablet (ICS 4.01), I'm getting the message INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK .
Below is the log when I try to deploy the app (app package name differs from original Google IO name, but it's the same app).
Somebody else has reported this issue before, and it was posted at LiveCode forum, but since StackOverflow is quite popular, I thought to give it a short for an eventual solution. Or maybe it's a problem with this specific tablet/Android stack.

(I have the latest Android ICS SDK, on Mac OS X Lion.)

Stumbled across this old question while searching, so am answering it in case it's useful to anyone else in the future.
The error in the install is the NativeLibraryHelper failing to find an appropriate native library to install.
The Novo 7 Paladin has a MIPS processor (to save on cost) and at the time this question was posted the Android SDK did not support the MIPS architecture for native binaries out of the box (it does now though). The Google I/O app is all Java but it has several dependencies and I assume one of them (probably the Android 4 support library) includes a native binary.
