What is a parse error?

A parse error means the phone cannot read the APK. The package did not open, so installation does not start.

• The file did not download fully, or it broke when the name was changed.
• It may be a ZIP or another file, not an APK. The ending should be .apk.
• If Android is older than the package requires, some phones show that as a parse error too.

If the inside was edited by hand, the package can break. Build the file again.
