Crosswalk 15 "App not installed"

I can build ok with Crosswalk 15 but when I try and do an OTA install I get "App not installed". Any suggestions on what may be going wrong and how I can troubleshoot this?

Potential reasons why a build doesn't install on device:

  • make sure you are using the right build for your device's architecture - ARM or x86
  • make sure an app with the same app ID is not already installed on your device

Thanks. Not sure why but I did have to uninstall an old version of the app before it would install the new version built with CLI 5.1.1

The older version of the app probably had the same app ID. So it wasn't letting you install another version of the app.

What if you need to update the app?

If it is already on Google Play will the users be able to update it?

An update from playstore is fine. It will replace the app. However, when you physically install an apk, it tries to create the app and rejects when another of the same app ID is there.
