Jelly Bean not loading app correctly?

I have had my PA Posse Mobile app available on Google Play and the Apple App Store for nearly a year now. Unfortunately just recently the app will no longer run on my Galaxy Nexus. I get the following error "Something's not right There was a problem loading the apps configuration data. See the LogCat (Console) output in Eclipse. This app works in Eclipse and it also works on my Transformer Prime Tablet and all other Android devices I own so I am not sure what gives. Anyone else run into a similar situation? I have researched previous posts but they don't seem to follow the same situation as this. I have no idea where to begin.

I have had problems with newer Android versions as well. Not that exact problem, though. I have no problems at all on my 2.3 devices.

Even i used to face problem running my bt apps on 4.0 and 4.1. This happens because most of the apps compiled on google api level 8 are not compatible to run either on ICS or Jelly Bean. I could not test the apps myself on Jellybean yet. I included admob in my apps which requires to compile the apps using Google API Level 13 and interestingly my apps now work on ICS and Jelly Bean too. Yes as i said above, i could not test my apps on Jelly Bean yet but i can see some users using Jelly Bean in my dev console. So try to compile your android apps to higher Google API's and test whether they are compatible to run on ICS or Jelly Bean.

So is this starting to be the norm then, BT apps compiled with API level 8 are going to be problemetic on newer Android Devices? All these new tablets and phones that folks are buying run ICS and JB. Android emulators are weak IMO. Should we be reserving time on the Samsung Developer site and uploading apk's there and testing then?

I tried to work with the Samsung Developer site, but had no success and gave up on it. Have any of you used it successfully?

I was able to load an .apk on a device in the Samsung RTL. It is like a 5 step process to get the file up there an on a device. You have to this whole redeem 'tokens' dance to reserve time slices to test on devices. It's full on Java, it's slow but it does work. You have to run that .jnlp file they send when you reserve your time. I just tried it today and getting a bunch of 'cannot connect to proxy' and I need to wait now to try and redeem more tokens.

So this process is tiresome and time consuming. Any way thanks for sharing your experience.
