Does anyone know a definitive way to determine why "Application did not install" happens?

I know my friend hacked his Android tablet to say it was an HTC because an app he wanted demanded security the developer knew was in the HTC tablet. Too bad we don't have PROCESS EXPLORER for Android. Then we could see what installs are looking for when they decide to KAG.

I keep having the nagging feeling some of the "requirements" are unused features that are only "necessary" because the developer left all the valves open to make debugging easier. Then they get close to the end, and they're tired of looking at the code AND the app and don't bother to weed out what they didn't need.

I know from experience that it practically takes HOT IRONS to get programmers to do the last tedious bits when they see the finish line ahead.
