[android-developers] Re: Application could not be installed on this phone?
I'm not getting much from DDMS. Perhaps the information I need is in
dumpstate output? If there's some clue here I'm not seeing. What
should I be looking for?
The error on the screen is Nomad could not be installed on this
phone. Here's the information about the package that is being
upgraded via OTA:

[android-developers] Re: Application could not be installed on this phone?
The problem appears to be the fact that the application on the phone
already was signed with a different certificate than the one replacing
it.
There's nothing in the logs I'm seeing that indicate this.
Another developer I work with had to guess that this was the problem.

[android-developers] Re: Application could not be installed on this phone?
Had a request from someone to elaborate on what I did to fix this. This issue started showing up when I started building with the 1.6 SDK. When I signed the application with a new certificate, the problem went away. Here's what I did: 1. created a new certificate using the instructions on this web page: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html 2. Exported the signed package using Eclipse: Right Click Project - Export Signed Application Package - follow dialog boxes. Also, make sure the phone is upgraded. If you're still having issues after doing this, then either my fix isn't the right one, or there's another problem. Hope that helps.
