[android-developers] Re: Shared User ID and Signing
And I told you that they are both signed with the same cert. I deleted BOTH apps from the emulator (in fact I deleted ALL the apps) and still I cannot install either. I can take the EXACT same .apk files and install them on the new clean emulator and they both install properly and can read each other's data. Note that on the first emulator, I originally had both apps installed without being signed, and perhaps that is the root of the problem (even though I deleted them later). However, I tried the same sequence on the new emulator (i.e. installed them unsigned, deleted them and installed them signed), and they still work fine. I cannot explain why the first one seems to be bugged, but perhaps it does not matter. I have not tried putting them on a real device yet, and hopefully I will not have any problems with that. Thanks for your help.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Shared User ID and Signing
Probably because at some point you installed one with a different certificate, and that is what is associated with the shared user id.

[android-developers] Re: Shared User ID and Signing
As an update, I created a new clean emulator, and I am able to get both apps to install, and they seem to be able to read each other's data. However, on the first emulator, I still cannot install either one, even if I delete all of the app first. Any idea why that is?

[android-developers] Re: Shared User ID and Signing
Actually, I didn't miss that at all, they ARE both signed using the same certificate. However, the problem occurs when I try and install the FIRST application (the second on has not yet been installed). When I try and do that I get the error I described.
