Question
I'm attempting to install the BasicUI native app sample on a Z1 device but consistently encounter FATAL_ERROR[61]. Here are the details:

Steps I've verified:
- Completed all certificate processes (author.p12 and distributor.p12) through IDE successfully
- Enabled "permit to install applications" via Connection Explorer
- Confirmed DUID matches the device
- Verified device date/time are correct
Environment:
- Tizen SDK 2.4 Rev5 with Certificate Extension SDK
- Windows 8 64-bit
- Tried both api_version 2.4 and 2.3
The tizen-manifest.xml is untouched (default from IDE), yet pkgcmd reports it as invalid. Any suggestions?
Answer
Problem Understanding
The FATAL_ERROR[61] typically indicates a certificate-related issue during TPK installation. The specific error (Manifest Validation Failed with error code 1866) suggests there's a problem with the package's manifest validation.
Solution Methods
-
Verify Device Profile Configuration:
- Ensure your device-profile.xml is properly configured in /home/developer
- Confirm the DUID in device-profile.xml matches your device's actual DUID
-
Check Certificate Chain:
- Revalidate your certificate chain (author and distributor certificates)
- Ensure certificates are properly registered in Tizen Studio
-
Manifest File Validation:
- Review your tizen-manifest.xml for any inconsistencies
- Compare with a working sample manifest
- Pay special attention to:
- Package ID format
- API version compatibility
- Required permissions
-
Clean Rebuild:
- Clean your project and rebuild
- Generate new certificates if needed
- Try creating a fresh TPK package
Additional Tips
- For commercial devices like SM-Z130H/SM-Z300H, certificate requirements are stricter than reference devices
- Consider testing with a simpler application first to isolate the issue
- Check Samsung Tizen OS documentation for updated certificate requirements: Samsung Tizen OS Developer Portal
