Failure [install_parse_failed_no_certificates] when attempting to install APK to the emulator
android, apk, cmd, emulation
Solution
This site helped me a lot to properly sign the unsigned apk. But,for the last process i.e. for `jarsigner`,following command need to be used
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore my_application.apk alias_name.
Further do look upon this `unable to sign zipexception` if you encounter with any `zipexception` error . So overall,use following procedure
- `keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -alias android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 20000`
- `jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore yourapkalign.apk alias_name`
- `zipalign -v 4 yourapk.apk yourapkalign.apk`
Now,you can successfully install the apk file.
Problem
I downloaded Myfiles.apk from the internet and I'm trying to install it to my Android emulator. While installing Myfiles.apk file through the command prompt, I'm getting this error. I tried following in command prompt ``` C:\android-sdk\tools> adb -s emulator-5554 install C:\Users\Me\Desktop\MyFiles.apk ``` How do I install this APK to the emulator correctly?
