Unable to install apk

Question

I am using Eclipse Ganymede with ADT 10.0 plugin and Android3.0 SDK to build my application.

When i try to deploy the application on my phone I get the following written on my console:

[2011-05-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] Failed to install MyProject.apk on device 
[2011-05-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] (null)
[2011-05-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] Launch canceled! 

and the following is written to adb logcat:

INFO/zipro(2499): Could not find end-of-central-directory in Zip
DEBUG/asset(2499): failed to open Zip archive '/data/local/tmp/MyProject.apk'

When I try to install it using adb shell from cmd prompt I get:

EOCD not found, not Zip
file 'D:\Workspace\MyProject\bin\MyProject.apk' is not a valid zip file

I have tried cleaning the project/ deleting the gen folder / deleting the debug keystore. Nothing worked;

Please advise.
