Signature Mismatch

[Jimmy]

I am using robotium on an android app, whenever a new iteration of the
app comes out robotium seems to run into some signature mismatch/
permission issues. Although the target package name stays the same, I
don't know how to get around this problem.

I am getting the following error:

INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: Error=Permission Denial: starting
instrumentation ComponentInfo{com.test.example.package/
android.test.Ins
trumentationTestRunner} from pid=14221, uid=14221 not allowed because
package com.test.example.package.test does not have a signature
matching the target com.test.example.package
INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS_CODE: -1

Your application file has to have the same signature as your test project. You are getting this error because signatures are not the same.

I've had that happen when the app apk and test project apk were built
on different dev machines, in which case I just delete the app apk and
test app apk off the device, and delete the apk's from the app/bin and
test project/bin directory.

Is this all being built on the same machine?

Solution is well explained here :

http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html

In short use the below commands ( On windows ),

jarsigner -verbose -keystore C:\Users\<user>\.android\debug.keystore <yourapp>.apk androiddebugkey

jarsigner -verbose -keystore C:\Users\<user>\.android\debug.keystore <your_test_app>.apk androiddebugkey

Enter "android" when asked for password.

If you want to use robotium on android app ,your android-application and androidtest-application should have same signature.In robotium documentation they have cleared explained how to re-sign android application to make both  applications to have same sign.just go through it.

Yes you're correct it should be built on the same machine. Because application apk and test project must have same signature.

 

May be what you can do is you can get a copy of your app apk and re-sign it in the test project apk machine. then run the scripts.

 

To re-sign the build without manually executing the commands, we just need to drag and drop .apk file on this tool. You can download it from below link.

http://www.troido.de/re-sign.jar

 

 

To re-sign the apk using above tool, make sure that you set the classpath for below system and user variables:

 

JAVA_HOME :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0

Path :

D:\android-sdk\platform-tools;D:\android-sdk\tools;

 

 

Have fun!
