Description

Description

Creating an Android project and running it on a Kindle Fire works through Studio. When the project is packaged to an apk file then it errors out and displays that kindle certificates haven't been found. I have attached a Linux script that will take the Studio apk file and sign it for the kindle. Then you only have to install the apk to the device with "adb install /path/to/app.apk". It requires certain files to run the script. The script will tell you what you need to install.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create an package an android application 2. Install the application on an Android device 3. Install the application on a Kindle Fire

Expected Result

2. Android device should have the app installed 3. Kindle Fire should have the same app installed

Actual Result

2. Android device has the app installed 3. Kindle Fire errors out saying it has no certificates. +Extra Information+ The attached script has a specific format but very simple to use. 1. Move the apk you want signing into the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder. 2. Run the script, don't clear out any folders if asked. 3. Run the 15th command to sign the application 4. Inside the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder will be a signed.apk 5. Use ADB to install this new apk to Kindle

    Is this all Kindle Fires or just a specific version?

    This is a Mavericks only issue.

    Dupe of TIMOB-15817

    [~sdowse] This ticket is marked as a dup of TIMOB-15817 but that ticket is marked as "cannot reproduce". Can you please confirm that both of these tickets work with you after you recreate the store?

    I have created a new keystore with a different name, password and alias to my previous keystore. Unfortunately the error still occurs for me.

    So, Sam was able to perform this successfully on two other machines. I'm going to re-resolve as cannot reproduce, but we should figure out how to "fix" Sam's machine.

    I completely removed all traces of Java from my machine. All Java folders, all oracle folders, even the Java internet plugin. Everything Java related wiped. I then installed Java from the following link: [Java SE 6, 1.6.0_65](http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572) After this I created a new Android project, a new Android keystore and packaged it. Installing the application using ADB succeeded. 
       SDowseMBP:~ sdowse$ adb install Documents/Android/KindleFire.apk

   	pkg: /data/local/tmp/KindleFire.apk
   Success
    +Extra Information+ The files/folders I had to delete: /System/Library/Java /Library/Java /Library/Application Support/Oracle /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

    Closing ticket as the issue cannot be reproduced and due to the above comments.
