There was a problem parsing the package

[Arif_Acar]

I’m having an issue. I exported my apk to my computer and then downloaded to my mobile phone. After all whenever I try to install this apk, my mobile phone shows this issue: “There was a problem parsing the package”. I tried a few things actually a lot of things but all of this never worked. My brain tired so much. Guys, if you help to my issue I’m gonna be grateful to you guys.
