I got this error while installing the android application (Parse Error : There is a problem parsing the package.). I did the following steps.

First time I installed the application and it works fine.

I made changes to the existing application and change the version no in Manifest file.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="org.openintents.samples.BasicOpenARDemo" android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.0.1">

Then I export the application and finish the code signing process. For this, Right Click your Project node > select Export. There you will see a wizard. Follow the steps and finish the code signing also.
I got the ARDemo.apk file, Then I changed it’s name to ARDemo1.apk
Then I shipped this apk file to mobiles SD Card and started the installation I got the above error.

I googled, they say that problem with unpacking manifest file.

Can anyone tell me what could be wrong with me?
