Question

Unfortunately when i try to install the apk on my phone with Android 5. i got the following error:

There was a problem parsing the package.

I am answering on my own question. The issue has been solved by generating a signing key as mentioned in https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android.html .
