Thank you. That provided the hint I needed to figure out what was happening. It turns out that if your Eclipse project name has a space in it, there's no problem whatsoever before you sign the .apk; after you sign it, though, it won't install. Something breaks when there's a space in the project

Try using adb install using your signed apk. Does that succeed? R/ On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 11:42 AM, Just Checking wrote: > > I already did have the app installed through Eclipse. Before uploading > the app, I exported the apk, then signed it with jarsigner. I also > tried adb uninstall before

Without being able to attempt this download and install myself there's not a lot more that I can do. Its also always possible there was some odd data corruption on this download. My recommendation is to uninstall any previous versions you have and any other apps that would have the same package na

The only reason to download it myself from Android Market is to make sure other people can do it. How can I be sure it's only MY phone that can't install it on, and users won't be impacted? I'm not sure what you mean by forward-locking status. Do you mean the copy protection publishing option? It

Yeah, so as it turns out we don't allow you to purchase from yourself. This is not allowed by Checkout and I think there would be a number of issues if this was allowed. The Checkout help center would probably be the right place to look for more information on this. To the original poster, did yo

I guess the other question is, if its your app, why do you need to download it from Market? As far as providing free copies to reviewers, you can just host the APK on your own server behind a password protected page that you share the password to your reviewers. More logcat context would be usefu

I tried buying my own app once to try out how updates would work, etc. I could not do it (i put in my credit-card details and i got some weird server-errors and that was the end of it). Maybe this has changed recently... On Apr 27, 2:50 pm, "Justin (Google Employee)" wrote: > Having the app ins

Having the app installed with two different certs used for signing would have definitely caused a problem. What's your app? What does logcat say when you try to download? As far as paying for your own app, I think you do, not really sure. This is pretty simple to test and it doesn't seem like giv

I already did have the app installed through Eclipse. Before uploading the app, I exported the apk, then signed it with jarsigner. I also tried adb uninstall before downloading; no luck there either. How about my other questions? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received
