Mythfrontend v31 android installation

Post #1 of 3 (462 views)

I've been using the pre-built apks for the mythfrontend for my Shield TV up
to this point. I have successfully build my own apk using android studio
following the readme on github.

I didn't create a release key because I just want to play with this on my
own system. Not sure if this is a bad assumption. Below is the console log
of what happened when I tried to adb install my apk.

/workdir/packaging/android$ adb install
mythfrontend-20200602-arm64-v32-Pre-523-g907841a119.apk
adb: failed to install
mythfrontend-20200602-arm64-v32-Pre-523-g907841a119.apk: Failure
[.INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package org.mythtv.mythfrontend
signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]

I'm using a v31 backend, but wonder if the problem is related to the
release apk key.

Yes, the problem is due to the mismatch in keys. I learned this with my
SolitaireCG project.

In order to install an APK with a different key, one must first delete
the prior APK.

Thanks, that was it. I just deleted the old app on the Shield TV and
installed with adb again and it worked.
BTW, I could only build from master. When I checked out v31 it failed to
build ffmeg. I have not found the error since I built from master okay.
