[android-developers] Signed APK corrupt on deploy. FC with Class Not Found exceptions

I just got killed by a corrupt APK when I deployed to production.

It took me three versions to get the APK build to build one that was not corrupt (I had to completely remove the project from the disk and recheck it out and rebuild it).

What made matters worse is that it now takes Google hours to deploy, so even when I discovered a corrupt build people would be downloading the bad version for hours while the new version made it way through the system.

In this case, it made really pissed off consumers because it was a keyboard that suddenly stopped working and they couldn't even switch to the default keyboard without getting an FC.

The crazy thing was that I didn't change the code at all between the three deployments (except to verify that the error was bogus), so I know it was a corrupt APK. 

Has anyone else experienced this kind of issue, and am I going to be dealing with it regularly now?
