Hi
I've just knocked together my first app, have released and signed it and transferred to my phone, but cannot get it to install on my phone - after going through the screen saying 'Do you want to install this application' and clicking install, I just get a message saying 'Application not installed' with no further explanation. I had checked the signing using jarsigner -verify.
I have uploaded the .apk to http://ubuntuone.com/p/ESB/ and obtained the log using the LogCollector app on my phone. The relevant extract is reproduced below.
Log Collector version: 1.1.0
Device model: HTC Desire
Firmware version: 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527

Many thanks for your help.
Edit 02/09/2010 I have modified the main.xml file again by removing pretty much all the whitespace. It still does not install but is not quite the same error: it's claiming there is a zip file error although I notice that certificates do appear further down the list. If this is not something I'm obviously doing wrong, would it be better if I raised on android developers mailing list?
