Hello again..
I have more details about this problem.. perhaps somebody can help
clarify things now =)
So if I test by installing and upgrading via the browser only instead
of the browser/market combination then things work out ok - I don't
get the mismatched uid error:
com.my.application.package.path has mismatched uid: 10031 on disk,
10046 in settings; read messages:
Another thing I forgot to mention is that I'm using copy-protection in
the market - could this affect how uid's are generated? Speaking of
which, how are uid's generated - are we (as developers) supposed to
know or care at this layer of abstraction?
And one last question! If all upgrades are performed exclusively
through the market (with copy protection) will I have to worry about
all this uid business?
help! thanks!
