APK Parsing Error

I do not know how to continue...
I build a signed or unsigned apk with Android Studio (everything is up to date). Now I want to test this apk and install it on my phone.
But I always get a parsing error...
I tried diffrent devices but with the same result. I tryed a blank app but with the same result. I can't install it because of a parsing error. But deploying directly from AS works just fine!
What I tried out:
Reinstalling SDK (latest)
Reinstalling Android Studio (latest)
Reinstalling Java (latest)
an older gradle version (2.2.3)
Dev options and allowing unknown sources are aktive on all my devices.
minSdkVersion is set to 19 (I just have devices with Android 5 and 6)
I don't have an idea where the problem comes from...
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance!!!

OK I finally solved my problem!
I uploaded the apk to dropbox! That was the problem!
If I move the apk directly to the download folder of my device (using USB) everything works fine!
But anyway thanks for your help!

It's not the code at all! I tried a new blank project and I couldn't install it too
but here is the Manifest and the gradle:

CM Theme not running or not showing up in theme chooser (Settings>Themes)

I am new to creating themes and I'm running CM13, I'm trying to create CM theme. I am just trying to start with a simple theme that changes the wallpaper and lockscreen image. I am using Android Studio. I tried using the template provided by cyanogenmod and I tried to start from scratch. Both would run but would not install properly. I can't seem to get them to show up in the theme chooser under Settings>Theme. I am running nightlies for lg g3 with no other modifications.
My android manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

My phone Catlog during run

Edit:
I found a theme that I can run to my phone and it shows up under themes but I still don't understand why the one from Gabriel will run but the one from Cyanogenmod's github won't run (or at least show up)

Play store says my app is supported by 0 devices

I have recently finished building my first android app. I published it to the store today but it says it supports 0 devices. Here is my manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:anyDensity="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"

</manifest>
This is my build.grade file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.GuessTheWordZahal.guessit"
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 2
versionName "1.0.1"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:2.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.8.0'
}
I tried looking this problem up online but I couldn't find a problem similar to mine. Most apps have no supported devices because they use features that are only available in some or in no devices. I just can't figure out what's wrong in mine. I've actually tested this app on my samsung galaxy and it worked fine.

You need to provide supported sdkVersion
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="minimum(e.g "8")"
android:targetSdkVersion="maximum(e.g "22")" />

if you are using Eclipse then mention your minSdkVersion & maxSdkVersion in your manifest file and if you are using Android Studio then mention these in build.gradle file.
For Eclipse
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.guessthepicturespazam.guessit"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="21"/>
.......................
</manifest>
For Android Studio
edit your build.gradle file like as below
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.guessthepicturespazam.guessit"
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
Note: Version name and Version code is important if you want to update your application in future.

Your manifest is incorrect.
<supports-screens>
is currently placed in application tag but should be moved up, to manifest tag.
Check out manifest structure https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html#filestruct
I suppose play-store parser couldn't find supports-screens information and decided that there is no screen supported. Please, correct manifest and let us know. Very interesting issue.

Exception in plugin Android Support when running on device

I have just created a brand new android project with an single activity.
Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="de.foo.bar">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name="de.foo.bar.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "de.foo.bar"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
}
When I just build the project no error appears. However when I try to run it on a device I get following error:
Exception in plugin Android Support:

Any ideas what the problem is? I am using android studio 1.4.

I think it crashed because Android Studio can't locate the default / launcher activity, this occurs due to Android studio need to have defined a default activity, and you can do that adding intent-filter to your manifest.
Your activity entry at AndroidManifest should look like:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name="de.foo.bar.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
You can have activities without intent-filter, but you need at least one with this filter.

I had this same problem when I tried to generate the signed APK for my project, so the solution is to add this in you build.gradle file in your project:
android {
...
lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
abortOnError false
}
}

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] error

I have an AVD emulator set at API 18 and my manifest is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Updated build.gradle file that includes the compilesdkversion = 18
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "pushpindesigns.com.lines"
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 'L'
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'
}
Code above is updated and still doesn't work.................Let me know what you think

Replace android-L with something else -- 20 or 19 would be likely choices. The "L" Developer Preview will not work on anything but "L"-equipped devices and emulators.
Also, the targetSdkVersion in your build.gradle overrides that which is in your manifest. Replace the targetSdkVersion in your build.gradle to 20.
