Android app not running from market but pushing apk works

Question

I have created an app the past could of days which has been great so far. I published app to play store and all worked fine.

Last night I uploaded an upgrade version with a few minor changes, when I try to install the app from the market it doesnt work I get ClassNotFoundException as soon as the main activity starts. If I run the app directly from eclipse or I push the compiled APK to the device over adb it works fine.

Has anyone seen this before, its a new one on me.

As per advice on IRC ProGuard is commented out in the properties file.

Without more information from logcat (with the android market version), the best guess to try is:

1. uninstall any versions of your app on your device and redownload it again
2. export into signed APK and directly push that onto your device with the "adb install MY_APP.apk" and see if that app works. (then make SURE you upload this particular one APK, and not some other one by accident)
