Helpful tips:

• -PROTECT YOUR KEYSTORE FILE: while it's better to use keytool to generate your own signing keys, RAPT can still do it for you. It drops the android.keystore into the rapt folder, but in any case, be sure to BACK IT UP. If you lose it, you're basically blocked out of uploading/updating your own apps.
  
  -Check lemmasoft forums: places like right here, or the Question and Announcement forums. Unless it's a unique problem, it's probably been asked before.
  
  -Try the quick fixes: like reinstalling/manually installing the rapt, re-running Install SDK & Create Key, configuring correctly (no numbers in package name, etc), Build Package and manually installing into device, updating Renpy, etc.
  
  -Make sure everything's right with the game: things like lengthy/improper file names and paths can cause the builder an error while packaging.
  
  -And if the above doesn't seem to work (after a some trial and error), go on ahead and ask for further help.

That's about all, I guess. (If you have any suggestion to improve this Entry, please let me know.)
