Cannot install apk file on android device
Hi, Since I have upgraded to version 5 I cannot install my .apk on my mobile device I keep getting "parse error - unable to parse file"
I have previously in all other versions had no problems.
I tried making a new project and building it (adding no plugins etc just the standard stuff)
It builds fine but I still get the parse error when trying to install, also tried on my partners phone and get the same error, both from installing from internal phone memory or sd card.
any help appreciated as this has stopped my developing at the moment :(
I'd check the $$anonymous$$inimum API Level. What level were you building at before, and what is it now? I'd also check what Android version your devices are running and make sure your builds are compatible.
Did you Uninstall the last installations and remove the old AP$$anonymous$$s?
@jessespike I built it with the lowest api in unity, my device is jellybean 4.2.2, all previous versions of unity I did the same and never had a problem before
@meat5000 yeh I uninstalled previous version, and I delete old apk on mobile before I try to install the new one.
the only other issue I have is that unity seems to hang on exiting editor and build settings dont seem to save, really doing my head in as I cant develop anything :(
I have android sdk updated to the latest builds, jdk installled (32 bit) (as I read people had probs with 64 bit one)

Hello,
I also faced this issue with an an.apk file of Alight Motion Pro. Fortunately, I was able to install this editing application on my android device. During installing.apk file, please keep in mind
Install the latest version of any .apk file
Use an upgraded version of your device (Android 6 or up)
Don't download the file from a website with malware and viruses
Check the requirements of the app ( phone memory, mobile version, etc)
I hope these steps will help you to install .apk file.
Thanks
