Didn't find main class on DexPathList

First of all, please don't mark this as a duplicate; I've gone through all of the suggested posts as well as done my own googling on this.

I have no idea what is going on, a deadline is approaching and I need help ASAP.

This problem first started after I exported my app as a signed APK (right-click export in Eclipse). When I ran my APK, it crashed and said it couldn't find the main class. After deleting the APK from my phone, I edited the manifest file to read com.gordon.status.main.Status, instead of just main.Status

Before I tried to export it as a signed APK, everything was working perfectly. Now it won't work at all.

I tried running it again, and I got the same error.

Over the course of almost two days now, I've tried:

• Refreshing, cleaning, rebuilding all projects in Eclipse


• Unchecking and checking the Android Private Libraries and Android Dependencies


• Removing unnecessary libraries


• Deleting the bin & gen folders


• Renaming com.gordon.status.main.Status back to main.Status


• Making sure other libraries that use android-support (v4 & v7) point to the same jar


• Reformating my phone and testing it on a virtual machine

What is going on?? Here is the exact error:
