The permissions tags after the application element was the issue for me. Thanks for the specific mention.
Really useful, and helpful.

And don’t foreget: if you want to use a MapActivity in your code the following tag is needed in your Manifest.xml:

it belongs INSIDE the tag (right before closing it worked fine for me)
