Description
If you use a '&' symbol in the Description, Publisher or Copyright fields of an app, the app will not run. This is the error generated:

The same issue I was facing and resolved. The problem was I added Projct > i18n > en > string.xml file and one of the string contains & sign. I removed and the project was running smoothly.
