OK, to clarify: If the ant script is used to sign the apk, it might
produce a corrupted apk, i.e. throwing ClassCastException or
NullPointerException at some point. This seems not happening all the
time though. However, if I export an unsigned apk using Eclipse and
sign it manually on the exactly same source code, everything is fine.
So we had to give up using the ant script.
The only "fancy" thing we do in the build script is to copy an xml
that has the release Google Maps api key into res/values. But I think
this should have no impact since the copy happens before compilation
and the R.java will be regenerated by the build script:
===================================
<target name="copy-release-files">
<copy file="${build.resources}/api-keys-release.xml" tofile="$
{resource-dir}/values/api-keys.xml" overwrite="true"/>
</target>
<target name="release" depends="copy-release-files, dex, package-
res">
===================================
=======================================
Buildfile: build.xml
copy-release-files:
[copy] Copying 1 file to /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/res/
values
dirs:
[echo] Creating output directories if needed...
[mkdir] Created dir: /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/bin-build
[mkdir] Created dir: /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/bin-build/
classes
resource-src:
[echo] Generating R.java / Manifest.java from the resources...
[exec] (skipping hidden file 'res/drawable/.DS_Store')
...
=======================================
I'm not saying this is the same issue as the copy protection. Just
they look very related.

We have not put any effort to reproduce the problem in other code base
since we can still export and sign the apk manually without any
problems. We will submit the code if we find a way to reproduce it.
