I can download my old apk(s) as signed apk(s) from Google Play.
I have latest version of my app on android studio.
I want to debug SQLiteOpenHelper onUpgrade method so I need to upgrade the apk but I do not have old apk signed with debug key.
So when I install old production apk and want to debug from Android Studio I get INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE error.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Baris
PS: Writing some debug information (Log.d()), signing the apk with production, re-install the apk and watch the Android Monitor for debug info is workaround but I want real debug from android studio.

I recently made an android app. It worked just fine on both my development devices when installed from Android Studio but when I sent the GDrive links or the APK files to my friends for testing, "App not Installed" error showed up.
What's worse, I can't even install the APK directly even on my devices without installing it from android studio.
Why is this happening?
Please help.
You should build a debug APK. For this follow this
From Android studio above menu select Build -> Build Bundles(s) / APK(s) -> Build APK(s)
Then wait some time. After build success, you will find your APk here
\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk
Then share this APK and IT will work fine.
You need to create keystore and then use option Build->Generate signed apk. Not signed apk is not installable.
I have an Android Studio Project and I need to create a runnable apk file for my beta testers (I pass the apk to them directly (via mail)). I tryed both to build an unsigned APK and to generate a signed one. But when I or my beta testers try to intall the APK, the installer say "App not intalled".
How can I build an APK file which work?
Thanks for help.
Having seen you case, you need to make sure that you are trying or installing signed apk. I was facing the same issue of App not installed what I did to over come the issue I build signed apk. And everything worked fine. Although the version before 3.0, without signed apk used to work, but after 3.0 or above without signed apk(if you installed directly) will not work. This will throw the same App not installed error.
For Android Application while generating Apk usually use signed apk, what is the use of ant Apk generation?
How to use it for android native apps, where signed apk also is non debug-gable? Then what is the use of ant apk generation?
Build apk is able to debug from any developer also.
If you build signed apk and test that apk it will not connect with debugging.
If you use the system.out then that can be seen in Android Monitor of Android Studio but Log will not be shown.
on my device installed my app from play store, but I Get warning : re-installation failed due to different application signatures when update new version application from eclipse.
i want not clear data from old version, when new update.
how to fix it ?
Uninstall the app from the device.
If you have the release version of your app on the device, and your debug version has the same package name, it must be signed by the same signing key. But your debug version will be signed by your debug signing key, and your release version will be signed with your production signing key, which are not the same.
Eventually, if you switch to using the new Gradle-based build system, you will be able to have the debug and release versions use different package names, which will allow them to be installed at the same time, even with different signing keys.
Until then, though, you can have either the app from the Play Store or your debug build from Eclipse installed, but not both.
Delete your app from your device and then run it from Eclipse. This happens, because the debug certificate, that is used to deploy apk's to during development is different from your key, that you signed your released apk with.
Now I'm using ADT18. I had been running singed APK on device by installing APK with eclipse before, with ADT15 or 16. But with ADT18, when I try to run (to install) signed APK, lovely eclipse re-compiles and overwrites signed (exported) APK.
Before I release APK on Google Play, I need to run it on my device. And I want to install it by running it with eclipse. I had been doing this practice over a year. But now I can't with ADT18 and I'm forced to install APK with different way.
How can I tell eclipse not to re-compile my signed APK and just install it and run.
Thanks in advance.
