Help! Parse error problem installing .apk

[SirHappy]

Hi!

I have a Motorola Moto G 2013, and I let someone create an app for me. Ofcourse, I want to test it before placing it on the appmarket.

The creator of the app says he can install the app without any problems. When I try to install the apk file, I get the 'Parsing ERROR'. I have checked on 'Allow unknown apps' and I tried to move the apk file to a different map. I also uploaded it on Google Drive, but when it's uploaded and I click on it, I still get the same error.

Please someone help me!

Was his device root-ed?

Is your phone root-ed?

No, I'm a big noob in this! I installed an apk file before, without any problems...
If I upload it to the Google Play store, will I still receive these errors? Or will this be solved automatically?

Maybe.

I have not encountered this problem.

Thanks for your response.
Unfortunually, all of it doesn't work. I tried to install it on a Moto G 2014 too, but with no succes

I think you need to contact the creator of the app and get him/her to display it working somewhere to you.
