Question

App will not open after update from market.

I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open.  It opens for a second and then closes.

This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.

The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine.  My question is does anyone know why this might happen.  Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

found the problem.  I was using an old version of the flash extension.

Now the problem is that the new version of the extension renames the app id with a prefix 'air.'  where previously was 'app.';

This will make it impossible to update my already published applications.  Thanks adobe!!!

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.

i created the app with version 1.0.0

uploaded it to my server on the net.

hit the web address from my phone, downloaded and installed

then changed the version number to 1.0.1

uploaded this apk

downloaded and installed to phone

app would then open for sec then close

only fixable by clearing application cache.

I can't believe the answer to this problem is not available by googling it.

has no one else encountered this?

please help, i am scared to release any updates to my programs - massive influx of email from mad users who can not open there apps.
