Hello!
While trying to run a test on Appium server I got this error:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl1259306118.tmp/base.apk: META-INF/CERT.SF has invalid digest for javax/annotation/meta/Exclusive.java in /data/app/vmdl1259306118.tmp/base.apk]'; Code: '1'
It has something to do with the signature of

Wokraround:
I uninstalled appium npm uninstall-g appium and then installed de 1.11 version: npm install -g appium@1.11
After that I uninstalled the Appium Setting and Ui.Automator apps from my Android device.
Started again the appium server. Worked like a charm.
Wanted to post this because I was struggling the whole day with this issue but couldn't find any solution anywhere. Hope this will be helpful for some of you that might encounter the same issue
Also had caps.setCapability("noSign", "true"); in my java code

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reviewing the Appium server launch and Android app-install behavior using the listed JDK, Node.js, Appium, Windows, and real-device versions. Compare it with the reported Appium 1.11 workaround; done would require a reproducible diagnosis and a clearly identified repository change.
