INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED....

Hi, I am trying to run the app, but just get this error message. I've tried to google it and everyone says you just have to change your package name to all lowercase letters, but it already is, so I don't get what the problem is?

Have you tried changing Pauliina to pauliina too? Package is pkg: /data/local/tmp/Pauliina.funfacts

If that doesn't work we'll have to think of something better!!

Steve.

I can't seem to find the Pauliina-thing. I found it in one place in the file explorer. I changed that to pauliina, but it didn't change anything. I can't find anything named Pauliina inside the project (in Android Studio). So I don't know where to look or what to do now?

A fine question ...

And if I knew the answer to it I'd have replied by now ... ;-)

Ouuhhh, I fixed it!! I had forgotten to uncheck the Compact Empty Middle Packages. And once I had fixed that and changed Pauliina to pauliina, I forgot to clean the project. It now works perfectly! Thanks!

Dammit!!

Have you removed Parse and then put it back again?

That used to be easier before Gradle - you just deleted stuff. Not too sure how it works now!

Can you post your mainfest file - there may be something in there.

Steve.
