"Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY"

Question

Iam trying to build or create a Android application but Iam seeing the error

"Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY"

Answer 1

You have a <uses-library> element in your manifest. Either:

• that <uses-library> should not be there, or

• you are attempting to install the app on a device that does not have that library

Answer 2

You use an emulator without the Google APIs but you require them in your project. Change the AVD image to support the Google API and also change your project to be built with the Google APIs.
