I use Eclipse for develop android apps, but when run projects see this error:
Installation failed due to invalid APK file!
For me, the problem was that I was using the wrong path to the file of interest. In other words, the apk file did not exist! Why couldn't the darn thing just tell me that it couldn't find a file? Argh! Ah well. Maybe this will help someone else. Double check to make sure that your path to the file is correct!
