Android Market Place App Upload Error - android

I'm having trouble uploading an app to the market place. When the app is uploaded an error is displayed stating that the apk is not valid. But no reason is given.
I believe I have everything correct in the manifest file and I went through the process in eclipse to obtain a valid key (Export-Create a new key store- etc.)
The manifest file is posted below. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If that is your whole manifest, you are missing some key elements.
For example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mypackage.name.appname"
android:versionName="#string/version" android:versionCode="15">
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="7" android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<application android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="#drawable/icon">
<activity spam here>
</application>
<define permissions here>
</manifest>

Application name as first activity

I switched in manifest manually between activities because I made new activity that needed to be first. Everything works fine, but in the apps screen in my launcher where I see all apps below my app icon i see the name of the first activity "SplashScreen", but when I uninstall in or go to my apps I see that the name is OK.
My manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
<application
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
<activity
android:name="com.myapp.SplashScreen"
android:label="#string/title_activity_splash_screen"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.myapp.MainScreen"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main_screen"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.myapp.Cameras"
android:label="#string/title_activity_cameras"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
</activity>
</application>

android:label="#string/title_activity_splash_screen"
that is the name being used.
you can just delete this line (and all the label from the other activities) and let all activities use the application name #string/app_name

<activity
android:name="com.myapp.SplashScreen"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
This should display the Application name

Android application failed to install in ICS

I am totally new in android development and any help is highly appreciated.

For your application to run on ics, you have to include this attribute in your manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
This way your application will be compatible from cupcake to ice cream sandwich.

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="3"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
add this in the manifest

Thanks, Jonathan

Here is your manifest,
You should not specify more than one Manifest and You should not specify more than one <application> tags.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</manifest>

It may be that you are missing something, but sometimes doing a simple re-format of code: CTRL+SHIFT+F, clears the problem.

I looked at your manifest file. The error is caused because you have 2 declarations of <manifest /> tag.
It begins with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jfkingsley.maclogin"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
Then some comments follow and another declaration starts:
<!--
Declare the contents of this Android application. The namespace
attribute brings in the Android platform namespace, and the package
supplies a unique name for the application. When writing your
own application, the package name must be changed from "com.example.*"
to come from a domain that you own or have control over.
-->
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jfkingsley.maclogin" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
Your either forgot to comment one of the manifests tag, confused something, or following a wrong tutorial. The AndroidManifest file should have only one <manifest /> tag

The Auto-generated AndroidManifest.xml file has some problem by itself. There is two manifest tag and two uses-sdk tag inside it. That is the problem. Do as follows:
1- Delete the closing tag of first manifest tag which is:
</manifest>
2- Delete definition tag of the second manifest tag which is:
<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.learn2develop.fragments"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
3- If there is two uses-sdk tag, also delete the second uses-sdk tag.

I added a new activity to my app, and it gave this error after. The manifest disappeared from android-studio completely.
I had to edit the manifest with a text editor. It seems that when I added a new activity, Android Studio created a new tag then added the new activity tag inside in the manifest file, rather than just adding the tag with the new activity in the manifest.
After you update the manifest, the project worked fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
< xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.groofy">

android:allowBackup="true"

/> should not be at the end of the file I had the same issue the error means the xml file is not correctly formatted you should try removing the / in front of the > or simply reformat

Android app is not visible in mobile app store but from browser its is availabe

I have uploaded the android app in the android app store. The app is not visible from the mobile app store but from my browser it is visible.
The devices I have tried:
GT-S5360 (Samsung) gingerbread
A60 (Micromax) gingerbread
The AndroidManifest.xml code is

<uses-permission

</uses-permission>
</manifest>
Please let me know what I am doing wrong here.

I'm not sure if this could cause a problem, but your uses-sdk is defined twice (with a different minSdkVersion). Try removing the second one.
