Visual Studio Cordova Tools signed Release apk 'app not installed'

Question

My Debug apk's install fine, but my signed release (or distribution) config apk's start to install and then give me the 'App not installed' message on my device. I would guess its not signing it properly? but it appears to. Any tips appreciated.

Answer 1

you are welcome,

PS: sorry! I can't comment (not enough reputation!) but it took, somehow, my previous answer as a comment, :)) So I put it here again: The answer:

If the two .apks have different signatures (Eclipse uses a debug certificate), you will not be able to install/update with the new .apk without removing the previous one.

You can find more information about this here .
