We ran into the "The server could not process your apk. Try again." message (with no other explanation) simply
trying to upload an update after adding just one new option (not even a new Activity) to an app. It's not an issue
with the "android:versionCode" (I even tried increasing it anyway) nor the order of the <uses-...> elements under
the <manifest> element (I tried different sequences anyway, and finally left them in the sequence documented in
"The AndroidManifest.xml File"). Is there any way to see what the reason for the message is, or else get this
issue fixed? Obviously it will be impossible to update our apps any further until it is.... Thanks.

I ran into similar problem. After hours of struggling and trying differents changes in
the manifest I found out that the reason was an empty ueses-configuration tag: <uses-
configuration></uses-configuration>.
The most confusing part here is that several weeks ago I published previous version of
the apk with the same empty tag!
I will be very helpfull that the server will provide more details about manifest
processing errors.

Thanks tremendously for the suggestion. By definition, the uses-configuration element is an empty XML
element. In our case, it was self-terminated with "/>" after the attribute value. I tried adding the default
values of the remaining attributes, but encountered the same "The server could not process your apk. Try
again." error, with no additional explanation, trying to upload the .apk to the market.
If the "uses-configuration" element was removed completely, then it uploaded OK, so now there's a new
version of our API browser in the market. Like you, I've successfully uploaded previous updates with that tag
there. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction - since there are so a few hundred API demos in
Droid Explorer, the contents of the manifest file is fairly extensive, and even after quite a few hours of trial-
and-error, wasn't able to fix it since most of the info online was pointing me toward the uses-sdk and uses-
permission elements.

During the last 30 updates I had no problem with uploading a new version of my application.
Now, after a minor change in the java source code and an untouched AndroidManifest.xml (except increasing the versionCode and versionName of course) I got this problem.

Same problem, even trying to upload a new version without any changes! just recompiling and changing the version number. It looks like a market issue.

same here - no changes in the manifest file - and this error pops up. interestingly the server still recognizes the apk version in case i set it to versionCode <= currentVersion ...

Same problem here... we did not change anything in the manifest this release other than version name and version code.
cr...@gmail.com <cr...@gmail.com> #15
Code changed and optimized, a couple of assets were trimmed down anyway, and manifest modified only in versionCode.
Nothing that should let me think of a new problem introduced btw.

Correct me if I overlooked an OFFICIAL statement from google on this topic, but before you get out new versions of Android, new funny features, PLEASE get the basics right. Or AT LEAST provide error codes, something like "ABC123 - Server hickups, not your fault, try again later"

They could also monitor this list a little bit better. Just my idea, I think they should have some experience with algorithms :-)
So if a topic without any post for 3 month suddenly gets 20+ posts from DIFFERENT users, it should change the severity to CRITICAL by default. We still don't know if they will update this topic, or some other post somewhere in the net.
@devandro - could you keep us posted about news?

I think the real problem here is the server responds with "The server could not
process your apk. Try again." Which gives you the impression that something is wrong with your APK, when in fact it entirely a market server issue. It should say something like "Woops, our servers are not working right now, please try again in a few hours".

Agree with @W.Dona that Google should respond with a more accurate message so that we won't need to scratch our heads on what went wrong in our code/manifest/compilation process.
And this problem is approaching 3 years old!

Hi guys.. just wanted to let you know.. I encountered the same issue (unsuccessful for 7 attempts).

Ok, google, you don't like my APK update then another store will.
Oh and don't forget that i paid money to be on Android marketplace, seems i am seeing just what my dollars mean to you guys - nothing.

Fixed.
It was not uploading anything, only dropping me this meaningless error.
I routed my internet through a VPN to UK and it worked.
So in my case the error means "Uploads from the country of your IP address are not allowed" .. which still makes no sense since the marketplace is available here... but my developer account is in the UK.
Come on google. Think for minute about the user and perhaps give them a message that is useful.

This is such an annoying long standing issue. I've hit this pretty much every time I've tried to update our apks over the last few years. Such a waste of time.
The most reliably way I have of uploading is to tether to my phone and upload over 3G, which takes much longer but for some reason seems not to give the stupid message.
It's unbelievable that this is still an issue after so long.

Same issue in Jan 2013! Have been trying to upload a minor up date to my apps and have only changed the version code and Version name in the manifest. I am at a university using their internet, I tried two different browsers and the upload byte counter never got passed 0. However, I connected through 3g and the app fully uploaded 5.3MB, then started counting backwards and then resulted in the same error message. I contacted google and they sent me a generic e-mail about "General problems submitting applications" which of course outlined errors in your manifest and other generic debugging topics, but this is my 5th update in two years and I have never encountered this.

Description
- Steps to reproduce the problem
I have been uploading regular upgrades to CTA Tracker Pro to the Android
Market through the Developer Console. Beginning 26-Apr-2009, I was unable
to upload any upgrades. The server responded with "The server could not
process your apk. Try again." The only change in AndroidManifest.xml
previous to this was the addition of <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="1" /> .
My original AndroidManifest.xml was structured as follows (note that
package names have been modified for public consumption):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="
package="com.my.package" android:versionName="1.071"
android:versionCode="20">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="1" />
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name"
android:name="com.my.package.MyApplication">
<activity android:name=".MyAppActivity" android:label="@string/
app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="RouteChooser"></activity>
<activity android:name="DirChooser"></activity>
<activity android:name="StopChooser"></activity>
<activity android:name="UserRouteNameActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name="PreferencesActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name="com.my.package.map.MapViewActivity"></
activity>
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"></uses-
permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-
permission>
</manifest>
I was able to finally upgrade the application without receiving "The server
could not process your apk. Try again." by adjusting the Manifest to be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="
package="com.my.package" android:versionName="1.071"
android:versionCode="20">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="1" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"></
uses-
permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></
uses-
permission>
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/
app_name"
android:name="com.my.package.MyApplication">
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /
<activity android:name=".MyAppActivity"
android:label="@string/
app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="RouteChooser"></activity>
<activity android:name="DirChooser"></activity>
<activity android:name="StopChooser"></activity>
<activity android:name="UserRouteNameActivity"></
activity>
<activity android:name="PreferencesActivity"></
activity>
<activity
android:name="com.my.package.map.MapViewActivity"></
activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Note the two changes from the non-working version I posted are:
- All the <uses-permission> lines moved to the top, which I do not
think made any difference.
- The <uses-library> line moved to the top of <application>, which
finally fixed this problem.
The placement of <uses-library> should not invalidate the XML; furthermore,
the placement of <uses-library> in the original, non-working version
correctly matched the documentation here
(
yet was un-parseable by the server.
