Question

If I change the project build target in a Phonegap app I get “Unfortunately has stopped unexpectedly”

I have made app with a target build path of 4.0.3 and set the min-sdk to 7. The app will run fine at first but Google does not allow it to be downloaded by a tablet.

If I do anything to change the Build Target and/or change the build target to the original version after I get the same message. The app will not load on any device at that point.

I am not sure what is causing this but even if I have an app has beeb installed fine and run fine, if I modify a file it gives me an error.

One more thing, I noticed that if I push the file to bitbucket it starts doing this also but not all the time. Here is a error message that I received from the play market.

Any help is appreciated.

Here is the maifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 1

You have inconsistent capitalization of “by” in the activity name between java and the manifest.
