Xamarin 4.0.12 generated .apk not installing on device - xamarin.android

I am using xamarin 4.0.12 for android development. My problem is when i ren the app on device it gets run normally but if i install the generated apk file the it could not install on device.I made debugging for this issue and ring that xamarin is giving an error for resource file:Package CalenderDemo.CalenderDemo has no certificates at entry res/drawable/icon.png; ignoring!
Please suggest something , any help would be highly appreciable.

I work with Xamarin.Forms and had a similar problem.
In my case, the problem was, tat no classes.dex was included in my .apk.
This was, because I had not set the Java Max Heap Size to 1G in my Android-project-settings.

APK fails to be installed on any device

I'm new in the Xamarin Development world so I installed Visual Studio 2017 with all the needed cross compiler features.
After downloading and updating the SDKs for Android API 23, 24, 25 and 26 and some corresponding emulator images I got the emulators starting up.
I created a base Xamarin Android App within VS, compiled and deployed it to the simulator.
By deploying/installing the generated APK to the simulator I get the following error:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/BlankAndroid.BlankAndroid-1: Package /data/app/BlankAndroid.BlankAndroid-1/base.apk code is missing]
It doesn't matter which SDK I choose as “Target Framework” or which Simulator I choose (Android 6, Android 7 or 7.1). The result is the same: The apk is not installed, but the “Mono Shared Runtime” are present and will be updated.
I figured out that the created apk file does not contain a file “classes.dex” or any oder dex files just some ressources. A file “classes.zip” in the directory “obj\Debug\android\bin\classes” with the generated java classes out of my C# is present. These files should be compiled with the DEX-Compiler to the classes.dex file, when I understood correctly.
Even other sample projects from the Internet have exactly the same result.
What do I do wrong?
The problem got solved by fresh installing the Android SDK and all related components. It seemed to have a SDK missmatch between an old Google Android SDK and the new installed Xamarin Android SDK.
I faced the same problem and tried many solutions from the search in web but this one to an extent solved that deploy failure issue.
In the emulator, open settings -> Apps -> Uninstall your app if it is listed
Deploy the app from visual studio again.
This solved the problem that said base.apk is missing.
Try setting your project back to the current recommended defaults. Remove all of the following properties from the .csproj file:
AndroidEnableMultiDex
AndroidDexGenerator
AndroidLinkTool
AndroidDexTool
This will let Xamarin.Android pick the current latest default values, this apply for Visual Studio for Mac and VS 2017-2019

Xamarin downloading and updating error on MacOs Sierra VM

I have a MacOS Sierra VM on VMWare and I'am having problems to download from the Xamarin repositories.
When I first installed Xamarin on Mac, I did the manual install of all downloads from xamarin because the installer gave me an error.
I need to update to Xamarin.IOS 10.4.0 but it gives me an error on automatic installer and I cant download anything.
The manual installer on this page: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
don't show the Xamarin.IOS 10.4.0 version that I need, the last it shows its 10.3.1
Im new on Mac Os but I have internet on my VM and I don't know what to do.
Any ideas?
Any help is worth. Thank you.
I found a manual installer on this url:
https://dl.xamarin.com/MonoTouch/Mac/xamarin.ios-10.4.0.123.pkg
I installed it whitout problems. I dont understand why this link isn't on: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
i found it by myself.
The automatic installer of updates still dont working but this resolve my problem of the Xamarin.IOS 10.4.0.123 version.
Use Xamarin Studio for updates. Even if it fails to complete downloads, you can find all those URLs later in ~/Library/Caches/XamarinStudio-6.0/TempDownload/index.xml.
I also have problems with automatic updates and all the links to the latest versions are almost always missing on Xamarin's Downloads page.

Installing Appcelerator Studio OS X El Capitan

I've been using Appcelerator Studio a lot, never seen this problem before. I recently did a fresh installation of OS X, then installing Xcode (7.3.1) and Command Line Tools for Xcode 7.3.1.
When installing Appcelerator Studio (build: 4.5.0.201602170821) everything is going great, the CLI gets installed. When starting up Appcelerator Studio, I have to configure SDKs, hence I am only interested in iOS at the moment, I uncheck Android in the Platform Configuration. The following is that Configuring SDK encountered a problem:
An internal error occurred during: "Configuring SDK". java.lang.NullPointerException
I continuing, and go to Preferences>Studio>Platforms>iOS, where the iOS SDK home says Not specified, I click refresh - nothing happens.
I run xcode-select -p and the correct path to Xcode Developer folder is printed.
Anyone having a clue of solving this?
I've check all the version statuses, also tried to reinstall and deleting all information that can impact to this.
Share the directory hierarchy where you have stored Android SDK and Platform screen folder. Also try to follow the guidelines of Titanium to integrate iOS, but remember to clean the hidden folders in root directory of your OS X system.
I believe the problem might be with your Xcode. Are you having multiple Xcode's installed?
Use sudo xcode-select -switch <xcode_folder_path> switch between Xcode's.
Then,run appc ti info -t ios and check whether CLI is able to identify the selected Xcode. If your Xcode is listed here, then studio should be able to identify it.

Uploading app to iTunes Store,Error in Mavericks OSX 10.9.3 ,Xcode 5.1.1 [duplicate]

We Really need some help on this one:

Right now my problem is after Validating the ARCHIVE compilation and sharing it.. in the Submit Process I Get -
"An error occurred uploading to the iTunes Store"
I Really don't Know what I'm doing wrong and don't seem to find ANYTHING on the Internet that solves the problem...
I've been stugling with this for over a week now... I've tried:
Creating a new Distribution Profile for Code Signing.
Checking All the Target Settings over and over.
Changing the FTP mode from Passive to non-Passive
Connecting from different networks
Reinstalling Xcode4
some other Work Arounds like Downloading the application Loader (Haven't installed it yet, but I Don't Know if I Should)
Please help us, what do you think could be the problem?
Thanks

If you are unable to upload Apps to Apple and installed the JavaOSX update (April 3, 2012) this may help you regain your ability to upload Apps:
You can work around this issue by re-creating the old Java 1.5 symlinks:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5
sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0
Edit Oct 5, 2012 Oracle's Java 7
Elaborating on Hackmonford's comment below.
This exact error message also occurs with Oracle's Java SE 7 1.7.0_10 package installed. To resolve, open "Java Preferences" and either change the order to have Apple's Java SE 6 first, or untick Oracle's Java 7 while submitting to the app store. Verify your change by opening the Terminal:
prince$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_35"
I was having this problem this week, and installed the Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 update, and the problem cleared up. Resetting disk permissions had no effect.
This just happened again.
For OSX 10.8.2 users (does not have Java preference), the only way to fix this is to uninstall oracle jdk.
cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
sudo rm -rf jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/
I had also a JavaVM / JRE issue. I have installed the JDK 7 preview from Oracle and that mixed up the upload process which told me the known "An error occurred uploading to the iTunes Store".
A quick check of /var/log/system.log (e.g. using tail in a terminal: tail -n 100 /var/log/system.log) brought up the following error message:
Java 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7 is required. Currently, java is the default java version. Please upgrade.
I had installed the MacOS Preview of JDK 7 directly from Oracle. To fix this issue, simply launch the Java Settings app in Utilities and uncheck JDK 7 from Oracle. Of course you should have an alternate JRE from Apple. See the screenshot how my configuration looks. The upload works for me now.
The odd thing is that the Oracle JDK isn't recognized as Java 1.7 by Apple. This seems like a bug.
UPDATE:
The GUI tool was removed from MacOS. Now, the only solution I know of is to remove the JDK 1.7 folder manually. See the JDK 7 docs how to do this:
Navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and remove the directory whose name matches the following format:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<major>.<minor>.<macro[_update]>.jdk
For example, to uninstall 7u6:
% rm -rf jdk1.7.0_06.jdk
A bit late, I know - but for anyone still having this problem - Look in your /var/log/system.log log file. In my case the problem was that the iTMSTransporter script (used by the Organizer when uploading the file) used 'awk', and I had to replace it with '/usr/bin/awk'.
Completely solved my problem.
Y.
Just in case this is useful for anyone else - for me it was that the Java JRE was not up-to-date. I checked the console and Application Loader was complaining
I had this problem today after installing latest XCode.
I fixed it by running software update and installing latest Java Update.
I tried the same thing as Hernan, but even with application loader 1.3 I wasn't able to upload.
I noticed that this has happened after installing OSx Lion and upgrading XCode to 4.1!
I followed Joe's tip and I found out that JAVA wasn't even installed.
Follow this blog entry:
Unable to Upload App to App Store
My mbp now run Xcode4.2(4D199) on Lion, I installed the latest java for Lion. And finally I sovled this issue.
Many guys said, he can used the old Application Loader app to upload the apps. so I guess the problem is the latest Application Loader app(2.4.1 (190)), and the fact told me I am right
Okie, in short words:
Here is the solution:
1.I hope you guys do not delete the old Xcode(4.1). We Should pick up the old version Application Loader app.
cd <Install Xcode app>/Contents/Resources/Packages
cp ApplicationLoader.pkg ~/Desktop/
Now, you get the ApplicationLoader package.
2.Install the old one.
Tips: you can remove the latest Application Loader app in path: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/ or just remane it.
That's All.
Hope this way can help you and enjoy the new Xcode4.2. Also hope apple developer can saw this problem and test the latest Application Loader app more.
No Problems submitting to AppStore on April 1st. Issue occured on April 9th. Installing the Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 update via Mac-OS software updater and rebooting the machine fixed it.
Just update to the latest JAVA at your Mac Software Update.
Here is the steps to resolve this issue:
To start with I had installed Oracles Java 1.7 JDK, which was really messing things up.
Went to Finder>Applications and entered in Search box - JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Right clicked and removed to trash.
A check in Terminal for Java version still showed Java 1.7
my-imac:~ my$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode)
1. Finder>Library>Java>JavaVirtualMachines showed the 1.7 SDK (make note of exact name of the Directory name)
Just in case anything went wrong I copied the 1.7 SDK folder to my desktop before doing the next item
2. In terminal type
cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
3. You should now be in that directory
sudo rm -rf jdk1.7.0_06.jdk (or whatever the exact name of the directory is in step 1.)
You may have to enter your administrator password
The directory should now be deleted and you can verify in Terminal by
java -version
Mine now showed "Java 1.6_xxx"
Went into Xcode Organizer and distributed my app to the iTunes store without a problem. Whoo,hoo!

BlackBerry Eclipse Plugin Device not Found issue

I use BlackBerry Eclipse plugin for my development. From today it shows some problems. The problems are listed below.
First I try to run my project it dont response for some time and shows the message
Refreshing connection on send 1 Cancelling refresh - pending
then i run the clean.bat file for clearing simulator. After that showing the error
Device is not found in the BlackBerry SDK BlackBerry JRE 5.0.0
Now the simulators not found.
Any one faced similer situations? Now what i can do ? can i install required simulators only? Or i install Blackberry JRE 5.0.0 Agin?
please help me.
Thank you
You should install simulators only because sometimes when we run clean.bat file then we get this type of problem. Install the simulator and run the application. Enough.
