Application not installed when i try to autoupdate

Question

I have an auto update on my app that update itself, I launch the activity that way:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ruta+"NameApp.apk"), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
intent.addFlags(intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
mContext.startActivity(intent);

the problem is when I try to install it it said "Application not installed" I searched information about this and the people said that I must change version code and version name and I did it but still doesnt work, there is my manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.name.name"

android:versionName="1.0" >

@D4rWiNS: So, possibly, it is a duplicate of https://mcmap.net/q/752973/-eclipse-wont-let-my-app-run – Floorwalker

@Ocus the problem is that i dont want to sign it since this App is not for google market so what can i do? – Wilinski

Answer 1

Solved, thanks to OcuS to guide me to the solution

The problem was that the certification is not the same when you sing the apk, and when you debug it , so you need to pass manually the apk , install it and then, you can autoupdate normally

Hey D4rWiNS, if OcuS was right why didn't you marked that as right answer? this is cheating... – Winna

that was 4 years ago, I don't remember well but, as stated in the comment in the Ocus answer it was not exactly the solution to the problem – Wilinski

Answer 2

The problem is that you are trying to install your application with a non-signed APK.

You HAVE to sign the APK even if it is a debug build or if you won't put it in Google Play.

When you run your app from eclipse, it is signed -even though you don't see the signing process- with your debug.keystore.

ALL apps MUST be signed before you install them on a device. ALWAYS. That suffers no exception.

Solved, this is not exactly the solution, the problem was that you cant do this if you are debuggin it, you need to install the first singed apk manually and then try to do it – Wilinski
