Build:android no certificates error on adb install

Expo SDK
1

Hello,

I have successfully built the .apk through exp build:android. Here is the url: https://exp.host/@jefferyvincent/powerPick. When I try to install the .apk on the simulator using:

adb install ~/Downloads/powerpick.apk

I get this error:

[100%] /data/local/tmp/powerpick.apk
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/powerpick.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Here is my app.json file:

Hello there. Did you make any changes to the .apk after downloading it? Looks like that’s not allowed and can result in that error.

3

No, I didn’t. I only changed the name then I just downloaded it and ran adb install

4

Just tried it again without changing the name and I received the same error. I don’t have any other certificate made nor is this on the play store yet. I just simply did exp build:android

You can close this. The issue was due to an older version of Andriod (lollypop).
