Gmail 5.0.1 (1642443) - Parse error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Decompile and recompile without any errors
2. Put that recompiled app to phone, it's show "android" icon(the default icon 
for every app), not the original. 
3. Error message - "Parse error - there was a problem parsing the package" when 
i try to install. Flashable zip doesn't work also. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: Decompile Successful! 

The result is same using Advanced apk tool, Tickle my android or classic cmd 
commands and latest apktool rc3.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
apktool_2.0.0rc3.jar, jre 1.7.0.76, win 8.1 64 bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Phone Motorola Moto G XT1032, Android version 5.0.1
Attached decompile/recompile logs.

Do you have a logcat of the install failing? (You can run `adb logcat` in a 
shell, trigger the install and wait).

This will help expose the real error. Also you could upload the version of 
Gmail you are using as that'll help me test/isolate the problem.

Well the bug still is open isn't it?

I believe this is a duplicate of 526. I have no proof of that though, once I 
double check I will either close or mark appropriately.

Yep. This is a duplicate of 526. Worked fine after fixing it.

AndroidManifest.xml (broken)
<provider android:authorities="@string/eml_attachment_provider" 

That is a @string reference for a provider. During rebuild this resource is 
made public to retain resource IDs. Due to a bug or something, public resources 
in the android:authorities are not allowed, otherwise will cause parse error 
and not install.

Following the reference to its literal value and replacing it like so.

AndroidManifest.xml (fixed)
<provider android:authorities="com.google.android.gm.provider.eml.attachment"

1. Did you sign the apk?
2. ROM? Android version?

Its hard for me to do anything when I can't duplicate the problem.
