I guess this could be a common problem for new android developer like myself

  • 0

I guess this could be a common problem for new android developer like myself so I thought to ask it even so it is not a big deal.
I would like to have both the current published stable version of an app and the under development version on my device. Yet when I want to install both I get

Re-installation failed due to different application signatures.
You must perform a full uninstall of the application.

I understand it technically yet I was wondering how I could have an easy way around this so I can have both application on my phone. I could change the package name for the time being but I hope there is an even more straight forward way to get it done.

Thanks
