I have an updated apk - tested successfully on various devices and simulator instances - with the following manifest:
In my case it was the Chrome Browser for Linux. After uploading with Firefox everything worked just fine.
Run this tool, you can find this tool in SDK Platform Tools

I had the same problem. In my case the reason was empty configuration tag in the manifest:
<uses-configuration></uses-configuration>
