INSTAL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES - trying to test not my .apk file on robotium

it's for robotium test-login system

First i've un-signed a signed application downloaded java program from http://www.troido.de/re-sign.jar double clicked on it to open it and droped apk file on it - so i have .apk without META-¬INF folder.

Next i've tried to sign it following this instructions: Open a terminal window / Command prompt and enter (the jarsigner tool is located in the bin folder of your installed java sdk jarsigner -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android APPNAME.apk androiddebugkey

I found keystore location by eclipse >> window -> preferences -> Android -> Build 

i've tried to install app with debug mode :

Solution

  • Try this. it works for me

    To manually re-sing APK follow the below steps:

    1. Un-zip the APK file
    2. Delete the META-¬INF folder
    3. Re-zip the APK file It will zip file as "applicationName.apk.zip”, rename it to: "applicationName.apk"

    In Dos prompt/Terminal write following commands

    1. jarsigner -verbose -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 –keystore C:\Users\Rcoutinho.android\debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android applicationName.apk androiddebugkey

    2. zipalign 4 applicationName.apk TempApplicationName.apk

    Then rename TempApplicationName.apk to applicationName.apk if you want.
