Hello. I made an app and downloaded it to may phone, installed it, theicon is on the screen, but when I try to open it closes imediatelly. I see there are old posts about similar problems, but no viable solution for my problem. The app has an id, etc, and the problem happens even on friend’s cellphones. I made some adjustments on the app but the new .apk has the same problem. \<-SOLVED. IT’S WORKING. ---

After doing some changes, not to fix the bug, and download it again, it opens so I can’t say what it was. ---
