android: error parsing apk from tomcat server

Question

This is related to my previous post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2649422/android-test-app-on-a-real-device

Here is what I did: followed every step to create keystore, sign, zipalign, versioning, labeling and naming my app. Resulted in an .apk file.

Upload my file to tomcat/webapps/ROOT/myapp.apk

changed tomcat/conf/web.xml by adding

<mime-mapping>
<extension>apk</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.android.package-archive</mime-type>

Restarted tomcat and send the link to my client.

After my client downloaded the app, it shows "parsing error".

What could be the cause? I did not rename my app, it is the same as the project name.

Answer 1

I think it might be a problem. My test app has the package name of com.android.myapp. Could it be a problem when my client wants to install it?

What is an efficient way to change the package name and everything inside to com.mycompany.myapp?
