Android error "There was a problem parsing the package." when installing

[Crystal Taggart]

Mine has 16 in it:

I changed it to 8 as She suggested and it's now working. Thanks!

Did this change recently because it worked on Saturday?

I think yes, they increased the version requirement

Hi, I have the same issue while installing my app on older android versions too. I get the "There was a problem parsing the package". On OS 5.1 the app can be installed without any issues

In my androidManifest of the app I have:

Code: Select all

 <!-- GCM requires Android SDK version 2.2 (API level 8) or above. -- 

Can I change this to 8 without I run into other problems and can the app then be installed on older android versions?

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

Hello OldeDeBolde,

You can try, but please note that you're doing this on your own risk, because officially we don't support old Android versions.

Hi Evgene,

I want to test this. What do you advise only change the minSdkVersion or targetSdkVersion too?

Code: Select all

 <!-- GCM requires Android SDK version 2.2 (API level 8) or above. --

Hello,

Both of them

Ok will try this. I updated the OS of the android that gave the error message and after update I was able to install the package. SO its version related. I will try this out and test if the package still is fully functional on the latest android OS version.

Thanks Sergiy!
