Application not installed when i try to autoupdate

Question

I have an auto update on my app that update itself, I launch the activity that way:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ruta+"NameApp.apk"), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
intent.addFlags(intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
mContext.startActivity(intent);

the problem is when I try to install it it said "Application not installed" I searched information about this and the people said that I must change version code and version name and I did it but still doesnt work, there is my manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

06-25 16:25:05.132: E/PackageParser(2510): Package com.name.name has no certificates at entry res/drawable/boton_continuar_pago.png; ignoring!

Answer 1

Solved, thanks to OcuS to guide me to the solution

The problem was that the certification is not the same when you sing the apk, and when you debug it , so you need to pass manually the apk , install it and then, you can autoupdate normally

Answer 2

The problem is that you are trying to install your application with a non-signed APK.

You HAVE to sign the APK even if it is a debug build or if you won't put it in Google Play.

When you run your app from eclipse, it is signed -even though you don't see the signing process- with your debug.keystore.

ALL apps MUST be signed before you install them on a device. ALWAYS. That suffers no exception.
