Unable to install apk

I am using Eclipse Ganymede with ADT 10.0 plugin and Android3.0 SDK to build my application.

When i try to deploy the application on my phone I get the following written on my console:

[2011-05-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] Failed to install MyProject.apk on device 
[2011-05-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] (null)
[2011-05-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] Launch canceled! 

and the following is written to adb logcat:

When I try to install it using adb shell from cmd prompt I get:

EOCD not found, not Zip
file 'D:\Workspace\MyProject\bin\MyProject.apk' is not a valid zip file

I have tried cleaning the project/ deleting the gen folder / deleting the debug keystore. Nothing worked;

Please advise.

See this thread they solved the issue : can't launch the application from eclipse

I had a similar problem and was getting similar logs in eclipse console

[2011-12-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] Failed to install MyProject.apk on device 
[2011-12-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] (null)
[2011-12-06 10:35:38 - MyProject] Launch canceled!

But cleaning and rebuilding the project solved the problem.

I had a similar problem. I had copied a zip file into the source folder:-e.g;the package was com.example.demo

and I had put the file in com folder. It showed me the same error as you get. I'm Not sure about ur case but before writing the code again, just check the whole project if something has gone wrong by mistake!!

Seems like Ganymede is not compatible with ADT 10.0

From http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html :

Supported Development Environments Eclipse IDE

* Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) or greater

  Note: Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) is no longer supported with the latest version of ADT.
