Public app problem

Post by MaxV » Fri Jan 03, 2014 1:04 pm

Hello,
I made an android app with Livecode Community 6.5.1 and I used "sign for development only".
All was working good, my mobile phone could install and use it perfectly.
I want to share my app and I read that Android apps must be signed with private key. So I created my android.keystore file using the keytool in JDK (Java Development Kit).
I set Livecode to use that file, it asked me passwords and so on... and Livecode created the signed app.
My problem now is that the signed app can't be installed, the installation starts on my mobile phone and then my mobile phone says "not installed"... :shock:
Do you have any idea to solve it?
Is there a way to know where is the problem?
If I revert to sign for development only, all works good again.

Is possible to sign an app with keystore file using Livecode community? Or is it necessary Livecode commercial?

MaxV, yes I think you can sign an app with the community version - but you can't close the source (you'd have to buy a commercial license for that).

What version of JDK are you using? I understand some users have had issues with JDK 1.7 but have had success when downgrading to JDK 1.6.
