Hello I have small issue with my APK. I have been developing and testing an application for past couple weeks without any issue with the APK file. Every time I was able to build app-debug.apk and install it to my smartphone.
Today I decided to publish my app and followed the whole process. The only thing I done in Android studio was: "Generate Signed APK..." where I created new key and build the signed APK in order to publish my application. (I also included some .png resources for the icon but I am not using it right now so I do not think that could be the issue.)
Right now the app is still pending to be published and I wanted to try the app once more on my phone so I build the app-debug.apk as usual but this time I get error: "There is a problem parsing the package" while installing the application.
I have searched the forum and tried some answers, e.g. uninstalling any previous version, for this issue but nothing seemed to work.
Thank you for any advice.
EDIT: I was able to install the app while connected to PC directly, and received error that the is referencing the APP being not uninstalled properly. So I uninstalled the APP properly and now I am able to RUN the app or DEBUG the app but if I create APK (Signed/Unsigned or debug version), download it and install on the phone, the issue keeps going.
