Android Question [Solved] [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED] using Firebase

AHilberink · May 6, 2019

Hi,

I got the error "[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]" during installing APK on an Android v5 device. Installing it on an Android v8 device, no problem.

It seems to be connected to the manifest line:
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

I tried change all $ to .$ within the manifest, but no result.

Some other suggestions?

Best regards,
André

Can you post the full code from the manifest editor?

Hi Erel,

Yes, sure:

I don't see any issue. Try to create a new project and add Firebase resources. See if it works.

Hi Erel,

I started a new project. Put only all neccesary part of firebase in it. Still the same error.

Putting a ' before "CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)" takes the error away, but no Firebase.

I update all of my tablet (v5.0.2). Are there parts I can check for minimum versionnumbers? On my Phone (v8.0.0) all works fine.

Best regards,
André

See my private message.

Does it work if you comment FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase and keep the other Firebase resources?

No it does not. I got a lot of error in the History tab.

Erel · May 7, 2019

I've just tested an app with Firebase on an Android 4.1. It works fine.

It seems like a compatibility issue with your tablet. It is not related to the Android version.

Strange. It is a normal Samsung SM-T530 tablet.
Can I change something to make it work?

Erel · May 10, 2019

If this is a development device then it is worth doing a factory reset.

AHilberink · May 14, 2019

Hi,

Just test another tablet Samsung SM-T560 with Android 4.4.4.
Same error.

What can I do to make this work? My users all have Samsung tablets.

Best regards,
André

I found this within my Log:
Bad class name CIRIS.Chauffeur.permission.C2D_MESSAGE in package CIRIS.Chauffeur

Could this be the cause?

This is of course a mistake. Why have you added this dot? Note that you cannot expect us to see such changes you made. Help us help you.

Also make sure that the package name is all lower case.

This is a response to my bug report, I think.
After getting the error of this thread, I added a dot to the "$ within the manifest. This dot is not the reason of the error.

Because of this thread I thought this dot could be a solution. Sorry for my bugreport.

AHilberink · May 14, 2019

Also make sure that the package name is all lower case.

This solved my problem. In the Compiler configurations I had used Uppercase. May be a stupid, but I didn't know this cannot. My android v8 and v9 versions all worked and so my Android <v8 worked fine, until using Firebase.

Thanks Erel.
