How can I generate a signed bundle?
I want to upload a signed app bundle of Flutter project to Google Play.
Environment
What I did
Go to Build > Flutter > Build App Bundle
Create an aab file and upload it to Google Play.
Get this message: "You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK or Android App Bundle in release mode."
Go to this page (https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#signing-manually)
Find this instruction: "click Build > Build > Generate Signed Bundle/APK".
However, I don't find "Generate Signed Bundle/APK" in "build". (I got stuck here.)
You should open android folder of your flutter project in android studio. Not root directory.
In order to sign Android apps written in Flutter, you can follow Flutter's signing method which can be used with flutter command line interface. If build.gradle is configured correctly, you can use flutter build appbundle (considering you want to generate an appbundle, not an apk) to generate an appbundle. Take a look at this page for detailed information.
You need to click on Build->Generate Signed APK/Bundle in the android studio. Even the DEBUG applications get signed with a DEBUG Key for the purpose for testing by the developers on emulators or real devices by installing it through ADB.

For Android Application while generating Apk usually use signed apk, what is the use of ant Apk generation?
How to use it for android native apps, where signed apk also is non debug-gable? Then what is the use of ant apk generation?
Build apk is able to debug from any developer also.
If you build signed apk and test that apk it will not connect with debugging.
If you use the system.out then that can be seen in Android Monitor of Android Studio but Log will not be shown.
I have created my android app and it runs on my connected device. I want to export my android application, but in the file menu, i don't find the 'Export' option at all, nor anywhere else. I had generated the Signed Apk(from the Build->Generate signed Apk option).Is this creating a problem.Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
To publish your Android app on the PlayStore,
On your AndroidStudio do,
Build -> Generate signed APK
Create a new App listing on Developer Console
Upload the generated APK
Publish.
I Generated signed APK because I wanted to release my app but after generating signed APK, the app wont run on the emulator."app-release.apk is not signed. Please configure the signing information for the selected flavor using the project structure dialog."
To resolve this error, I did what it told me to do. I went to project structure>signing and added signing info (called config). Then i added this config info to build Types and Flavors. Gradle synced successfully and I was able to run my app in emulator.However, when emulator starts, I see a dialog box in my android studio saying *************"Installation failed because device already has an application with the same package but a different signature".****************** Also, I noticed that any changes that I did to my app after running the "Generate Signed APK" wizard are not reflected in the app. I cleaned the project and restarted android studio but same results.
**I am attaching a screenshot of the error that i am getting
what you have is you have different builds for production and debug i guess or more if you want to install you production apk you have to uninstall the app from your emulator as one device can't install the two apps with same package names,uninstall the apk installed in the emulator and then generate a signed apk with whatever configuration you are generating then this apk will be installed in your emulator
You have installed the app previous to the export. Exporting your apk signs it differently than the debug build. Do what the error says and uninstall and reinstall.
I use Android Studio to create Android Apps. When I created signed apps, using the option "Build -> Generate Signed APK..." in Android Studio I selec the previously created keystore file and start the generation process. Everything seems to work fine.
Then I try to updload the app into the Play Developer Console, and get the error, that the app is not zipaligned.
Now I zipalign the app by hand, using the command line. Now uploading the app works.
Cant I zipalign the app in the APK generation process right away using Android Studio?
I am trying to generate an unsigned release APK using Android Studio.
My app will not be signed and not distributed on the Store.
In Android studio, I go to Build Variants and I select my project + Build Variant = Release.
I run the release, Android studio generates the file my_project-release-unsigned.apk
Nice! But, when I try to install or deploy the APK, I got the error:
Installation failed since the APK was either not signed, or signed incorrectly.
I dont understand why I got this error since the APK has been explicitly generated unsigned!
Well, if you could tell me how I can setup gradle to generate my APK unsigned....
I am pretty lost!
Per Signing Your Application:
All applications must be signed. The system will not install an application on an emulator or a device if it is not signed.
