INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES error on Android device

Question

Hello,  
We're getting INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES error when we launch a test run with our AndroidSDK-30 app through the device farm. The error occur during the Setup phase no matter which kind of Android devices we select:  
Failed to install com.** - INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Scanning Failed.: No signature found in package of version 2 or newer for package com.**  
  
Any idea of what we could be doing wrong?  
  
For info, we don't have any issues to install the apk on our own devices.  
  
Thanks,  
Martin

Hi Martin,  
Thanks for reaching out. Can you let us know a job ARN for which this issue occurred? From there, we can try to pinpoint the root cause.  
  
In the past, we've seen this issue with apps where the Manifest file is malformatted. You can check the formatting of yours via running the following in the terminal using the Android build tools:  
  
\[code]  
# Ensure their JAVA_HOME is set  
echo $JAVA_HOME  
  
# Otherwise, set it with the command  
# export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8` && echo $JAVA_HOME  
  
apkanalyzer -h manifest target-sdk app.apk  
\[/code]  
  
Thanks,
