Android :: Users Getting Package Not Signed Correctly
May 2, 2010
A small percentage of our users are getting a package not signed correctly error when installing our app that was downloaded from the Market. They can't re-download from the Market, so we are having to get them to download and install it from our site, which works fine. It seems to happen to maybe 1% of our users, and only for our paid app, not for the free one (at least that we've heard of, naturally the paid users are going to contact us more than the free ones). I'm guessing it's a problem when the download is corrupted for some reason, but in that case shouldn't the Market let them re-download it and try again? Anyone else seeing this?

I've uploaded my first apk to Google Play, made with processing 2.03.
I used this guide to sign: http:[url].....After a few hours, when the app was visible, when trying to install, I get the "package was not signed correctly". I'v tried it on another device rather than the one used for testing and I have the same issue.
1. is there a way to test apk's faster? It could take up to 12-24 hours for the new apk to be updated on Google Play, and that's what I have to wait to see if I now signed my apk correctly.
2. can you download the app and see if you get that issue?
3. does it matter what information you input when you create the release key using jdk? I mean, does google check against information you use in your Google Play publisher's account and then gives that error?
4. is there an alternate way of signing my apk?
I am using win 7 64 bit, latest jdk7 at the time of writing, latest android sdk with just api level 10 installed, latest version of apache ant (installed manually).

I published my app on the market, and when I first tried installing it from there, I got the 'package file was not signed correctly' error. Uninstalling the unsigned version I was testing with let me install from the market with no problems. However, from the comments, it looks like no one else can install my application.
I've put other versions up that worked, and I used the same certificate, so I'm pretty sure it is not an issue with the validity days for the certificate.
The name of my application is Bloxors. It will be going up and down as I try to figure out what the issue is here, but if someone else who is getting the error can debug it it would be greatly appreciated.

I recently uploaded my application to the android market however it's refusing to run when downloaded due to the error
Package file was not signed correctly
I first published the packet using eclipse, right click export, creating a keystore then publishing, however it refuses to work.
I then downloaded the keytool and jarsigner and used them to sign an upgrade which I posted instead. However this gives the same error.
And since I cannot delete the application I cannot try and start again,

A customer wrote me that his upgrade of my app would not install and gave the following error: package isnot signed correctly The install worked find for me but I was getting a lot of bad reviews because of this error and I removed the app. How is this possible; you can't upload an app to Google Markets without it being signed correctly?

I am using Windows XP and Eclipse to develop. I updated everything today, the new sdk, the new adt etc. After that, when I tried to "export signed application package", nothing happened. If I click "export unsigned application package", a dialog box showed up. Anything i missed?

i work on custom Application Manager and try to get the disk usage of installed package. So PackageManager.getpackageSizeInfo was removed from SDK on 0.9->1.0 update android.content.pm. PackageStats(String pkgName)(cacheSize, codeSize, dataSize) returns always "0" Size of phys. file (java.io.File) in "/data/app" seems wrong/not completely. Has anybody any solution to get the total disc space used by an installed package?

I'm attempting to override an Android View class to tweak the functionality just slightly. But I need to modify a field that does not have a setter method. I've placed the subclass in a package called android.widget. Why can't I access any of the package-private member fields? I notice that the compiler says they "cannot be resolved," rather than not being accessible. Does this have something to do with how Android.jar is built?

If I go cheap and don't pay the $xx or so for a real VerifySign certificate, and just use a self-signed certificate to sign my app, will it appear as a second-class citizen on the Android Market? Specially, will the user get a prompt like "this app is signed by a possibly untrustyworthy scheming bastard, do you still want to risk your life install it"? If not now, will such a policy be enforced in the future?

what's the difference being "Export Signed Application Package" and "Export Unsigned Application Package"? Under 'Signing for Public Release' in the dev guide it says you must:
1. Compile the application in release mode 2. Obtain a suitable private key 3. *Sign* the application with your private key
But then it continues:
"To prepare your application for release...To export an unsigned .apk from Eclipse, right-click the project in the Package Explorer and select Android Tools > Export Unsigned Application Package."
But below this under "Compiling and signing with Eclipse ADT" it says to "To create a signed .apk, right-click the project in the Package Explorer and select Android Tools > Export Signed Application Package...When you complete the Export Wizard, you'll have a signed .apk that's ready for distribution"
Do I need my app signed or unsigned for distribution on market place?

This is not a question about how to sign an .apk file. I want to know what does signing actually means and how it is implemented.
Inside the .apk file there is META-INF folder and inside that there are two files.
First one is CERT.SF contains SHA1 hashes for various components and looks like this:
Name: res/layout/main.xml
SHA1-Digest: Cox/T8fN1X9Hv4VqjH9YKqc/MsM=
Name: AndroidManifest.xml
SHA1-Digest: wZ418H9Aix1LNch3ci7c+cHyuZc=
Name: resources.arsc
SHA1-Digest: P+uoRrpFyVW6P3Wf+4vuR2ZSuXY=
Name: classes.dex
SHA1-Digest: cN3zXtGii9zuTOkBqDTLymeMZQI=
There is also a file called CERT.RSA. I assume it is the public key to verify the signature.
My question is, where is the signature for the whole .apk file is stored? And what is actually signed? It could be either .apk file used as a single binary object and this is signed or CERT.SF is signed which contains individual hashes for different components. It would be also much better if you can point me to the documentation of the detailed signing and verification process.

My app developed on sdk 1.1 was fine to install on g1 1.1 - direct from eclipse run - as exported unsigned - as the .apk from the /bin. now i developing it on sdk 1.5 - works direct from eclipse run - DOES NOT install the exported unsigned - DOES NOT install the exported signed (not prob while signing) - only install the .apk from the /bin. when i try to manual sign the .apk from the /bin i get a zip error from jarsigner.

I'm using the Email application. I get a "non-trusted certificate" error when setting up mail for IMAP. This is expected because I generally self-sign my certs. Though, what is not expected is that there seems to be no mechanism to accept non-trusted server certificates. No self-sign certs? That's a deal breaker. There has got to be a work-a-round.

Is there a way to let eclipse compile always a signed app and run it on the mobile/emulator
I nearly never use debug and so always when i switch between my developing app and the app i publish i have to deinstall the app. quit nerving.
Would be way cool if there is an option to automate the signing so i always work with the same packet.

I need to do is download some basic text-based and image files from a web server that has a self-signed SSL certificate. I have been trying to figure out how to use HttpClient to do this, but getting the SSL to work is a nightmare that seems to be way too much trouble for such a simple task. Is there a better way to perform these file downloads? Perhaps through a WebView or Browser feature? Reinventing the wheel of making a simple HTTPS GET request is a major pain, and is significantly holding up my development schedule.

I have been a Java programmer/instructor since Java was Oak (which is the development name for Java).
Where can one find how to use eclipse to sign an app for release? I have found several how to docs/web sites, but not detailed enough for a newbie to this android world.
I have a screen that comes up that wants the Alias, organizational unit, etc... what are valid values for these entries?

I am facing to android application signing problem. My application contains Google MapView. When I compile the app and run on the emulator, MapView works fine. But signed the app, MapView doesn't work. I've get Google Map API. This works on the simulator. I could sign the app once 2 months ago. Then I've upgraded the app. Now I need to sign the app again. Actually I don't know why signed app's mapView doesn't work. How to fix it?
I used following steps when sign the app: Run Eclipse. Select the project. Right Click -> Android Tools -> Export Signed Application Package -> Then Filled forms. (In forms, Validity years: 200, and all passwords are same.)

I found a software named Droid Explorer that lets you sign Packages and Packages are usually Updates. So i signed the Droids 2.0.1 Stock Rom and Renamed it to PB00IMG.zip and restarted my phone in the safe mode and it started loading... I want to know if i continue will it brick my phone or will it Really run the Droids 2.0.1 Software. And if so could this lead to the Rooting off the Eris.
