yet another INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY when using Google Maps on Android

I went through all the articles about the INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY issue in Google Maps projects but I couldn't find a case similar to mine nor a solution, so here is my problem:

I have a project with an activity (com.example.googleMaps.AndroidGoogleMapsActivity) that inherits from MapView to show a Google Map and do some stuff. I run it on a Samsung Galaxy S II and it works fine: it shows the map and does the stuff it is supposed to do.

Now. I want to use this project as a library for another project and show that activity as the first screen of another app.

So I checked the box Is Library, I created a new android project that builds against GoogleAPI and includes the library in the Android properties in Eclipse with the following manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="test.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <uses-library android:name="com.example.googleMaps" required="true" />
        <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" required="true" />

        <activity android:name="com.example.googleMaps.AndroidGoogleMapsActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

I run this new project on my device and I get the infamous error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY and LogCat is totally silent.

I would like to point out that the activity inside the library works so none of the well know issues should apply.

In the client project I specify two uses-library tags (one for my library and one for the Google library), I build against GoogleAPI, include the library in the Android properties in Eclipse and run on a tested device.

Am I still missing something?

I had the same problem, just remove the line:

  <uses-library android:name="com.example.googleMaps" required="true" />

and it should work.

Only Use com.google.android.maps. Please remove another one.
