Also, Android Market will not accept your APK if it is signed by the debug key. -Marc On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 5:42 PM, Neilz <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all. Just trying to get my head around this signing principle. The dev guide says: "The Android system will not install or run an application that is not signed appropriately." But I haven't signed the app I'm developing, and it runs fine on both the emulator and my device. Ok, so it's being signed with the eclipse debug key? But how come that still runs on the device. And if it runs on my device, what is there to stop me sending it out to friends to install on theirs? Is this possible, and is it technically allowed to do so? Thanks for your advice. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
