Hi, I keep getting the error, "One of your app's resources (Application Descriptor) is not valid and must be fixed before it can be installed." I saw that there was a similar post earlier but it seemed like it was fixed with a private message. Could anybody give me heads up on a fix? Best, Nish ---

Jonathan, This is an issue that can occur intermittently due to different circumstances - often due to connection issues (firewall or captive portal EG). I believe Nishant resolved his issue by redeploying his app. We can follow up offline on your bug report.

Hi You can try to these 2 solutions: - uninstall the previous version of the application and run the new version - try to install from an internet connection with less rules/restrictions.
