Upload fails on google play even after adding android:debuggable="false" - android

I am trying to upload my apk to the google store and it says You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugging before it can be published in Google Play.
I have added android:debuggable="false" and i am signing it in release mode with a unique key still I am getting the error. I am building using xamarin
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.mycompApp.MyApp" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="auto">

The problem was that the androidmanifest.xml was showing some windows encoding instaed of and this was not throwing any error in xamarin. i changed it to utf-8 and it got uploaded


Xamarin Studio doesn't always update well changes in AndroidManifest. I could solve the same issue by manually deleting the Droid/obj/Release/android folder in my project directory, then clean + build + package. The new package was accepted by Google Play.

How reinstall application after changes in androidManifest without removing previous version of application

How reinstall application after changes in android.manifest without removing previous version of application?
I have ready installed application on phone. Then I changed something in AndroidManifest.xml and build apk file. Now I want install application on phone,
but I get "The application has not been installed."
When I remove old version and then install new everything is ok, but another device I want reinstall app without removing previous version, because I don't want lost data.

The application has not been installed.
Sometimes that error not because of the android manifest.
Make sure that the apk had signed by the same certificate.
That case sometimes happens to me, when I install the release version from google play, then I install debug version from my local project.
After making sure that the apps signed by the same certificate, make sure that the app had the same or bigger number build version.
You can't replace apk with build versionCode 12 with build versionCode 11, should be 12 or higher.

Looks it was not a big problem because they accepted my app 3 days later .. So you just need to be patient !

App cannot connect to Google servers for access to Google maps

I've been working on an android app for the past little while and I wanted to set it up to connect to Google Maps. I've been writing it inside Eclipse with the ADT plugins. I followed this tutorial but I've been getting the following Error when I try to load maps.
"failed to load map. error contacting google servers. this is probably an authentication issue (but could be do to network errors)"
Since I can access google maps in other apps it has to be an authentication error. I've tried uninstalling the app from my phone but that does not fix the error.
The SHA1 that eclipse is using (according to window > properties > android > build) is 58:EF:6F:DE:DE:B4:4E:EB:20:15:68:39:08:5D:87:32:FE:20:99:99
I used this to generate an API key in the google console which you can see contained below in my manifest file. The app I specified in the console was 58:EF:6F:DE:DE:B4:4E:EB:20:15:68:39:08:5D:87:32:FE:20:99:99;com.example.test. It may be worth noting that I'm loading the map inside an activity located in the gui package, not the com.example.test package that contains MainActivity.
I've been testing this on my nexus 5 by clicking play in eclipse while the phone is plugged into my computer.

Google Maps Android V2 - Blank Screen

I am implementing google maps for android. I created a test application and inserted all the permissions etc in that application and the application worked flawlessly.
But when I try and copy the same code to my real application it shows me blank screen on the android activity.Although I've updated the package name in the google api console.
Here's what my Test Project Manifest Looks Like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.mapstutorial"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<permission
android:name="com.example.mapstutorial.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.mapstutorial.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="my api key"/>
<activity
android:name="com.example.mapstutorial.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and here's what my real project manifest looks like :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.shop.shoppinglist"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
I updated the package name to com.shop.addtask in my console fingerprint but still it shows me the white screen.What could cause the problem ? The apikey I've used is same in both of the applications. But it works on test application not on the real app.
I've created the api key using the fingerprint
I've switched on google maps android v2 in the console
I am using the same api key as mentioned in the console.
So these things are correct and the problem cannot be caused by one of them.

2 possible reasons:
1. this part:
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="my api key"/>
should right before the closing application tag.
2. Most likely you have some sort of problem with your key. Try to generate a new by deleting the debug.keystore folder and running a project. then register it again via the console.
you can use this guide I wrote to do just that:
Google Map API V2 key
Update:
Check this for a second:
<permission android:name="com.shop.addtask.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
it looks that the package you set here is not the package of your application and should be:
<uses-permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

<permission android:name="com.shop.addtask.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.shop.addtask.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
package name is
package="com.shop.shoppinglist"
Hope below link helps you, AndroidManifest.xml for Google Maps Android API v2
try this,
<permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>

After everything fails, try to uninstall the app and try it again. It worked in my case.

My problem was that I've changed the app's package name in the AndroidManifest file, but not the gradle.build's "applicationId" property, maybe that helps someone...

I had the same problem. I tried everything suggested on the different solutions on this error. Inclusively, I recreated my API key(including creating a new project) and nothing worked. After many, many hours wasted, I decided to delete all myapp user data on my android device, and magically this took care of the problem. My maps display correctly! Yay!!!
Android 4.2.2: Settings/Apps/YourApp/Clear data.
I hope this simple solution helps when everything else fails.

ok, I have the same problem, I follow all the steps in the blogs and the google official page and not working, the solution is correct
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="my api key"/>
before close the application tag, but in the other case I found the solution, the problem is I generate SHA1 code in a macinthosh but I clone the repository and work in windows plataform but I found this problem, my solutions is that go to google console and generate other apikey but get the SHA1 code using this comand in windows,open the console
and typed this code
cd C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_20\bin and press enter
next step copy and paste this code
keytool -list -v -keystore %HOMEPATH%\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
after press enter inside the console you show the SHA1 code copy and paste in a google console,is very important specified SHA1 code ";" and correct package ..
regards!!!

I 've got a similar problem with the map. After fixing all lib and key problems, I just saw a white sreen labled with "Google".
The problem was, that I put the MapFragment into a ScrollView. After removing the ScrollView everything works fine. I can see the map.

Check whether you enabled Google Maps Android API or not
Open Google Map developer console.
Go to Library -> Google Maps Android APIs
If it is disabled, enable it.
