Unavailable Shared Library – INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY… here is a solution to the problem.
Unavailable Shared Library – INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
I’m taking over a project and trying to launch it in the Android emulator. I’m getting the following error in Logcat:
11-11 06:21:42.215: ERROR/PackageManager(58): Package com.android.xxx requires an unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failed!
Console display:
Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
How do I make sure com.google.android.maps is included in my project?
Update:
The minimum SDK level I use in my androidmanifest.xml is 3:
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/>
Solution
When creating a simulated device, make sure to select “Google API…” as the target. If you only select “Android…”, you won’t be able to use advanced APIs like map on the simulated device.
