I'm having a little trouble understanding this question in a quiz. Is it just me... or is it worded a little weird.
"We can upload the same APK that we built in Eclipse using the “Run” button to build and run our app on an emulator or device."
"True" is incorrect, which leaves "False" to be correct, but I still feel like I don't understand the question.

Treehouse Project ReviewerYes, thank you, but I already know that the .apk created by the "Run" button is not able to by uploaded to Google Play, but the question doesn't say Google Play specifically. I guess the way I'm reading it is that "We can upload (to a device) the same APK that we built in Eclipse using the "Run" button to build and run our app on an emulator or device." I don't know... I just feel like the wording of this question can be cleaned up a bit. Just my thoughts though.

Courses Plus Student 2,079 PointsYour comments makes sense. I took it different because the video was just talking about uploads to Google Play. Maybe, I will go retake the code challenge and check it out. Maybe they will reword this to clean up the intent of the question a little more. Good Luck Ernest Grzybowski!
Ernest Grzybowski
Treehouse Project ReviewerYeah, I guess it's because the video before the Google Play video was talking about sending the .apk in an email, and I was confused. I guess my definition of "upload" in this specific question didn't instantly point me to Google Play.
I retook that quiz just to see if I was confusing myself, but again I think a better question would be:
"We can upload the same APK that we built in Eclipse using the “Run” button."
I don't understand the second half of the original statement:
"to build and run our app on an emulator or device"

Treehouse TeacherThanks for the feedback; upon re-reading the question I agree that it's confusing! I'll reword it and update the quiz sometime soon.
