Random Signing Problem

[gshearne]

I have an app compiled with 6.6.2 without signing. I am using SDK 23.02., JRE7, and JDK1.7.0_67. I am building a keystore, signing my app, verifying sign, running zipalign. I load the app into the Playstore. Everything checks out. I also place it in our own Knappsack media repository.

I can download to tablets running running Android 4.1.1 without any problems. But do not seem to be able to download to any phone devices. I get the error: Error: "Package file was not signed successfully" or "Unfortunately, Package installer has stopped."

I can sign the app for development in Livecode and it works fine on the phones and tablets. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Update: I can sign in LiveCode and it works on the tablets but not the phones. I have tried 6.6.2, 6.6.3 and 7.0.rc1. Same results with each one. I have tried some variations with the JDK. No different results.

Can anyone tell me if they have compiled and signed and things worked on multiple platforms? Any ideas ????????

Update correction: I can sign in LiveCode and it works on the phone (4.2.2) but not on the tablet (4.1.1). If i create my own keystore and sign the app it works on the tablet but not the phone. If I sign for development it works on everything.

I have three days trying variations. Can anyone help??

Hi gshearne,
Just so you know that people are reading this thread... I have been following it.
Sorry that I have no advice for you. But in your latest post are you saying from google play or just local?
I've been doing lots of local stuff recently and haven't seen this problem.

Have you tried deleting previous copies of the app before trying to reinstall a newer build? If it has never installed even once then of course that isn't the problem.

I've never seen this so I'm not sure what's wrong. All I can think of is that something in standalone settings isn't right. Or maybe you don't have all the resources you need in the Android package manager. I've always let LiveCode do the signing and I don't mess with it after that.
