LiveCode Forums.

Hello,
I'm a total beginner, I'm trying to create an app. I created the APK, but I can't install on my phone. I made the following steps:

• Created the apk file
• uploaded the app on the phone
• selected it in the file browser
• the app installer starts
• the app installer said me "app not installed"

I attach here my livecode file and apk. What is my mistake? Is file name a problem? should leave the apk file name "Untitled 11.apk"? I renamed it "testAndroid.apk".

Here are the file: https://mega.co.nz/#!xFhgXbYQ!I2XSl0P1F ... FQjtycnVmM

Hi,

I'll try to answer your question in my next reply, but first I want to say that this mega download website is extremely creepy! It circumvents default safety measures by asking the user to "save the file manually" and not use the browser's standard download feature. Very, very creepy! I strongly recommend against using this website! Instead, use Dropbox or put a file on your own server. If your file isn't too big, you can also attach it to your forum messages as a zipped file.

Hi again,

You need to set a unique identifier, such as com.yourveryowndomainname.yourveryownappname. If you don't sign the app, you need to change your device's settings to allow for development installs. Go to the Application Settings and check "Unknown Sources".

Kind regards,

Mark

Done.

Already done.

My LG phone still doesn't install it...

Hi,

Are you sure that the identifier is unique? Which identifier do you use? Were you able to install apps on your phone before?

Kind regards,

Mark

I use "net.myrealowndomain.testapp"

From others yes, I'm an expert user on Android. Installing, removing, root, changing ROM, no problem for me. I never made app, it's my first time.

Hi MaxV,

Can you adjust your android standalone application settings to the following and then try to build again-

-Signing - Sign For Development only
-Install location - Allow external storage

and is your phone set to allow the installation of "unknown sources"?

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

Hi,

Do you really use net.myrealowndomain.testapp? Or don't you want to post your domain? If your domain contains any non-alphanumeric symbols, such as a dash, you might have problems installing your app. Neil also mentions a few relevant issues, although I understand from you that you already allowed for unknown resources.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thank you Mr. Roger, the problem was there, I chose "do not sign". I resolved with "Sign For Development only".
Since user can't install no signed app, what is the sense of "do not sign" option?

Best regards
