There was a problem parsing the package

IAmAHuman · January 21, 2019, 10:48am

Hello everyone.

When I try to download my app that I have created, it gives the “There was a problem parsing the package” error. The minimum SDK on my app is API 16 and my phone is running Android 8.0 Oreo. What might be causing the problem and how can I fix it?

change your package name

Unfortunately that didn’t work. I also tried changing the minimum SDK to something more recent like API 21 but that didn’t work either

change the package name and delete old exported app from your phone and after export the new app with new package name

What is your current package name?

Alright, turns out I was a bit of an idiot. Instead of typing “com.kerimkoray.component” I just typed “component”. So I changed it and it worked! Thanks for everyone’s help!
