Question

I am using ./gradlew assembleRelease command to generate release apk for the app.On installing the app I am getting 2 icons of app.No clue what am I missing.No luch on google. On clicking the second icon it just shows Simple Indeterminate.

Here is my build.gradle file:

buildscript {
repositories {
    maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.0.0'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'crashlytics'

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}


android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'



defaultConfig {
    versionCode 23

    targetSdkVersion 20
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }
}


signingConfigs {
    //Set debug.keystore file here
    release {
        def propsFile = rootProject.file('keystore.properties')
        def Properties props = new Properties()
        props.load(new FileInputStream(propsFile))
        storeFile = file(props['storeFile'])
        storePassword = props['storePassword']
        keyAlias = props['keyAlias']
        keyPassword = props['keyPassword']
    }
}
buildTypes {
    debug {
        applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
        ext.enableCrashlytics = false

    }

Answer 1

My top guess is that there is more than one LAUNCHER activity, and that one of them is declared in a library project. Eclipse didn't merge the manifests, but Gradle does.

So, I would suggest you search for android.intent.action.MAIN in all AndroidManifest.xml files.
