I try to install an application on release build type and I get the generic error: "Parse error. There was a problem while parsing the package"
Installing the debug apk works successfully.
Installing release apk with adb shows this information:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb install app-release-unsigned.apk
2577 KB/s (1606360 bytes in 0.608s) pkg: /data/local/tmp/app-release-unsigned.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
This is the logcat
