Question

When I run my application in the emulator, it runs fine. When I send it (email) to my phone, the following message occurs:

Sorry! The application Package Installer (process.com.android.packageinstaller) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I have tried the solutions to similar questions on SO and have looked through Google to find a solution that will work, so far to no avail.

Here is my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="application.android"
  android:versionCode="1"

When debugging on my phone through Eclipse the following shows in console:

[2012-03-12 23:38:52 - ruleout] Android Launch!

There is nothing shown in the LogCat window and as far as I can tell, I have enabled internet permissions. Also, I did add the android:debuggable=”true” attribute to the application tag.

Answer 1

I managed to solve the problem so for anyone who comes across the same issue, if you remove the android:permission attribute from the application tag in the manifest, then it works like a charm.
