Just went Pro - APK will not install

ShaunElery

I downloaded my unsigned APK and when i try to install it on my Android tablet it says "Application not installed" and nothing else.

Does anyone have any idea why this won't work? Did I just blow $300?

Email yourself the apk, and then run it. It should work; it worked for me.

Hope this helps

Sorry. that did not work.

I think you need to sign the apk before you can install it on a device. That should work normal.

ShaunElery

That did it. Unfortanutly now I have other problems to overcome.

thank you

Did you update your Java SDK? I had the same problem. I originally made my keystore file in Java 6 then upgraded to 7. Once I rolled back to Java 6 SDK everything worked fine.

Seriously? Your entire worth of GameSalad Pro was based solely on not having a single issue the very first time you ever tried to install an android build?

@tendrmr

He figured it out, though!

Yeah you need to install a signed APK to a device. I love it when people don't study and know what their doing and blame GS. Enough of this foolishness already.

It's good that Shaun got the issue solved however I am having the same problem. I have created my app signed it in publishing using a correctly created keystore and get a nice "success" window in GS upon completion however when I try to install it on my Android device it goes throughout the whole installation process before erring "Application Not Installed"...

I have the latest JDk, Android Tools and Gamesalad Pro Membership...

Any advice? I would be happy to send the .apk if you want to try it.
