XamarinForms APK won't install - App not installed


We have two apps which are deployed using HockeyApp (Ad Hoc deployment). After recent updates on my Mac (iOS & Visual Studio Community) I can't install them on Android devices (deployment to iOS devices steill works fine).

I have a message "App not installed". It is the same when I try to install from APK file on the device (signed or unsigned apk). I can install the app on the phone in Release mode when I have it connected to the Mac.

I'm not sure what else I should check to investigate this issue?

Visual Studio Community version 7.6.1 (build 9) iOS version 10.13.16 HockeyApp.SDK.Xamarin 5.1.2 Xamarin.Forms 3.1.0.697729


Solution

  • This was a bug in Visual Studio - 7.6 build 2190 creates invalid APK for Ad Hock or Android Play Store release.
