- I compiled a sample project and have a debug and a release .apk file.
- I have copied those files to the Download directory of an android phone using gmtp on Linux.
- With Cx file explorer on the phone, I can see those files. If I press one of them, the first time it asks me to allow the explorer to be a source. I enable that.
- Then, still in Cx file explorer, if I press on of the .apk file, it asks if I want to install it. I say yes. And it tells me it has not been installed.
How can I know what was the problem when installing? Can I run the .apk without installing it?
Note:
- the release version is unsigned.
- I activated the debug USB mode on the phone, but the application does not appear in the list of applications to be debugged. Maybe there is a way to run the application from there?
