I want to install an unsigned apk file on my mobile. what to do?

android, apk, java

Solution

You cannot install an unsigned application on a phone. Check out this link to see how to sign the application: unsigned APK can not be installed

Edit: This is from Google's website: http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html

All applications must be signed. The system will not install an application on an emulator or a device if it is not signed.

Problem

I have built an app. I exported it through Eclipse APK. I have the APK file. I want to send it to my dad (in another country, so wont be able to do a lot of technical stuff) so that he can install it and see my progress? How do I do that without getting a dev account on playstore?
