Apps .apk load error

[spikey100]

I have written an application that runs OK in an emulator.
When I export a signed package and try and load the .apk into a Samsung Galaxy S I get the message "application not installed"

Any ideas on what my problem might be?

Any ideas ?

Are you running the app directly from eclipse on the SGS?

Sounds like you have an apk signed with the developer key.

Thanks for the reply,

I am using Netbeans and "Exporting a signed android package" using a private key.
When I check with jarsigner -verify mypackage.apk I get the following result

jar verified
Warning:
This jar contains entries whose certificate chain is not validated.
Re-run with the -verbose and -certs options for more details.

This produces a report for every resource file and each one includes the lines
[certificate is valid from....to...]
[CertPath not validated: null]

The question is now, is this coincidental or is it pointing me to a problem?

Hmm... I dont really know netbeans, nor jarsigner specifically. I usually build with Ant or Eclipse.

If you're familiar with jarsigner and command-line building you may want to give ant a try. There are example ant build script that will take care of the signing and zipaling stuff.

Sorry, wish I could be more help. I guess as a last resort you could download eclipse and ADT and at least setup the signing process/keys through the wizard, then use ant from then on.

Alright, I will give Eclipse a go.
