Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED?

There could be another reason for this error. The attribute

android:taskAffinity="string" 

Should always start with a dot, like:

android:taskAffinity=".string" 

Activity name should be prefixed with "." in your manifest file.


I was having this error because i had capital letters in my package name like this

Com.Example.packagename

after i had changed it to something like

com.example.packagename

it was solved
