I've had this problem before so I will share you my experience.

It could be one of two problems:

  1. Your device isn't ARMv7. That means it needs to be 2.2 or higher. I would recommend using Android 4.0 or higher for a test device, that's just my opinion though.

  2. You could have a syntax error or you could be requiring a document that doesn't exist. In some rare instances Corona doesn't detect the error until it's on the device. To see what the error is, run adb logcat.

Let me know if this works for you :)

I had to install my app via a adb console with my phone's USB debugging turned on for it to work.

The command was:

[path to adb.exe] install -r [path to apk file]

When I had a similar problem, it was because the architecture on my device wasn't ARMv7.

The developers behind Corona have made these points regarding Android deployment:

  • You do not need to install the Android SDK. However, you will need to install the x86 (32-bit) version of the Java 6 Development Kit if you're using Windows. Corona does not support JDK7. See Java Development Kit Setup for details.

  • The Android build process generates a standard .apk file. You can build and test apps on Android devices without creating a Google developer account, but you will need an account if you wish to publish to the Google Play marketplace. The current price of the program is $25, mandated and managed by Google.

  • We only support Android devices that run Android 2.2 or higher with an ARMv7 processor. This can create some confusion because ARM processors are identified by both a family and an architecture. Family names do not have a "v" in them. For instance, the ARM7 processor is actually a ARMv3 architecture, and ARM11 is a ARMv6 architecture. See this guide to help identify the various processors.

I find the simplest way is to just attach the .apk file to an e-mail and open the attachment in Gmail on the phone.

You can build for Android using the Trial version of Corona. Just use the default key. (I might have enabled a setting under Apps to allow installing apps from outside Google Play, I don't remember.)

Download some app to your device like app manager or Es File Explorer(

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd)

And open that app, select your .apk file, and there u can install it.

Good luck ;)
