Description Brion Vibber 2011-11-16 19:29:48 UTC 
log from eclipse launching Wikipedia PhoneGap app on an Amazon Kindle Fire:

[2011-11-16 11:26:31 - Wikipedia] Installing Wikipedia.apk...
[2011-11-16 11:26:33 - Wikipedia] Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
[2011-11-16 11:26:33 - Wikipedia] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2011-11-16 11:26:33 - Wikipedia] Launch canceled!

Same error I get installing to an emulator VM that doesn't have the Google proprietary APIs (bug 32136) -- being able to install and run without them is a prepreq for running on this and other devices without Google's proprietary stuff.

To get USB debugging set up: http://leuksman.com/log/2011/11/16/android-usb-debugging-and-screenshots-on-amazon-kindle-fire/
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2011-11-16 21:26:37 UTC 
Provisional fix: https://github.com/nitobi/Wikipedia/pull/56

Marks the Google Maps API library dependency as non-required (so you can install and run the app), and retools the class loading a little bit so it fails gracefully with an alert dialog instead of crashing the app when you try using the maps feature.

Better still would be to make it not depend on Google Maps. :)
