[android-developers] Re: App upgrade (with zipalign) causes force closes/disappearing of app icon
We are experiencing the exact same issues w/ the Copy Protection bit on upgrades on Hero. It is causing use sever headaches w/ user upgrades. We will have to let them know to backup the user data, uninstall, then re-install. Any new update on this? Chris.

zipalign should have no impact on the running of your app at all, except for making some ways the system accesses it faster and lighter since it doesn't need to copy data out of your app. All applications built in to the system have always had zipalign run on them.

This happens on an upgrade-install but not uninstall/reinstall? Is it 100% reproducible?

[android-developers] Re: App upgrade (with zipalign) causes force closes/disappearing of app icon
I had the same problem with my app. I found that there is a bug in the export function in Eclipse in windows. When you pick the location where you want your .apk to be exported make sure that you don't see a double back slash. For example: C:\\App.apk if you export the apk this way it will be broken and when you upload it to the android market you won't see the icon and the upload process will fail with an error that says the server couldn't process the apk. You must change the path to: C:\App.apk On Oct 1, 10:52 am, SCMSoft scms...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Almost all our users complain that after upgrading to the newest version of our Camera Pro app, either the app crashes or the icon is not showing up anymore in the home screen.

You must change the path to: C:\App.apk This makes no sense. we just tried to do exactly that (export to C:\\foo.apk) and had no problem installing and running the app. (The test was done on Vista) By the way, the file selector shouldn't generate double backslash anyway.
