I get this message whenever I try to install an apk produced by monkey on any android device. Any ideas? Everything seems to be working fine except that I can't install the apk.

What device are you trying to run the app on?

A quick google lead me here:

And from the look these guys reckon its the different targets. For example you are compiling Android 3.2 and trying to run it on 2.2 without setting the minSdkVersion correctly.

Monkey v66 defaults the AndroidManifest.xml to:

	<uses-sdk 
		android:minSdkVersion="3"
		android:targetSdkVersion="7" />

Thanks for the reply.
I think you might be onto something. I am trying to run it on a Galaxy Nexus running ICS (4.0.4) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab also running ICS. I'll try tweaking the SDK version settings and I will post if I find a fix.
