APK will not load on HTC via email

Which version of Sense do you have? The mail client has changed a bit from Sense version to Sense version.

I also have Astro File Manager installed.

Or use Dropbox. This is my preferred method.

Are you able to install any app from this mail client?

Try to first uninstall the app.

Yes, I have installed a previous App via email, I simply touched the attachment and it loaded.

I can work without email but would like to avoid the market place as my App will only be distributed to a small number of clients.

Is there a preferred, none market place, method for App downloads?

Thanks

If you have a website or access to one you can put the .apk there and simply give your clients the url to go to with the browser. I do this routinely with several devices. You might be able to just include the url in an email to them.

APK files created with Basic4android are exactly like APK files created with Eclipse / Java. The problem is likely to be somewhere else.

Log file

I have downloaded the log file from my HTC, does this help identify the error?

It appears to be a parse error on the manifest file

Thanks
Malcolm

Settings, Phone, Software

You should have the latest version though. The mail client changes as Sense changes.

Just had a thought, are you using HTC mail or other mail client?

I tend to use HTC mail. Certainly from Sense 2.1 and up it works quite well.
