Android Studio : INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED

Question

I've looked at other postings about the INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED but still can't figure out what's wrong with my particular manifest. Any suggestions?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="ThePackage.SnapVest.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name="ThePackage.SnapVest.MyActiveOptions"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_my_active_options" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="ThePackage.SnapVest.MyTrades"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_my_trades" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="ThePackage.SnapVest.MyAccount"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_my_account" >
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="ThePackage.SnapVest.Leaderboard"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_leaderboard" >
    </activity>
</application>

So, where's my error?

Here's the actual sequence when I run it:

Waiting for device.

Answer 1

It's all because you added company domain (Android studio) in capital letters. Or the Package name. Change it to small letters and run the project. The problem will get resolved.

Answer 2

Change your

android:name="ThePackage.SnapVest.MainActivity"

TO

android:name=".MainActivity"

OR make all the characters in the package name lowercase except your class name

android:name="thepackage.snapvest.MainActivity"

Do change all the attributes named as android:name inside the activity tags as I suggested.
