How do I make release version of apk in android studio 3.01?
Do I need to do in gradle?
Thanks.
Go to the Build menu and select Generate Signed APK. This will bring up a wizard for you to use to generate a singed APK file.
You'll need to generate a key and keystore to sign your app. The Android documentation is quite good, I'd suggest reading this for detailed instructions.
In Android Studio
Build -> Generate Signed APK -> Fill all the details in the dialog shown (In the KeyStore Path field, Click on Create New if you are creating for the first time)
-> After filling the details click on Next and in the next window click on Finish.
After some time a popup will appear on the bottom right and from there you can locate your Release Version Apk

I have went into android studio and the option to build one isn't there, I went to an earlier version it said I needed a newer version of gradle, I looked up how to do that and then it gave me a result than only works in an earlier version, so I went to said earlier version AND IT DOESNT HAVE THE OPTION TO BUILD TO AN AAB FILE. I feel like I have just wasted 25$. How do I make a signed AAB file from an APK?
To generate a signed AAB file, Goto
Build->generate Signed Bundle/APK...
Here select Android App Bundle and click Next
This dialog box will be open next.
Here either create a new Key store path by selecting Create new... or Choose existing... to select existing one.
The Create new... opens the below dialog, enter the details here and click OK
Now click Next, and Generate Signed Bundle or APK dialog opens and click Finish.
Since updating to Android Studio Chipmunk I am no longer able to generate signed AAB files. I'm not getting any errors, Android Studio just doesn't do anything. I select the menu item "Generate signed package / APK" -> I select Android App Bundle -> I specify the key store (already used successfully in the past) -> then I select the Release option and press the Finish button ... but absolutely nothing happens. Like the build request is ignored. Any idea ?
As per my understanding you have started using new Android Studio Chipmunk and trying to updated your android application (version 1) that was previously developed using Android Studio only; have signed (E.g. with Key store & Key alias) and published to Play Store, now at present you wanted to update or release a new version (called version 2) of previously developed application using new Android Studio Chipmunk and generating new signed build via same Key store & Key alias.
As far as I knew, it is "know issue" with Android Studio Chipmunk. Actually Android Studio Chipmunk does not consider different-different password for both Key store & Key alias. It is only consider same password for Key store & Key alias.
You need to select the right key from the key alias dropdown. While generating the signed build from the Generate Signed build or APK dialog, click on the icon next to the key alias field:
Then select the right key which you had used previously:
click OK and then Next. Select the right Build variant and click the Finish button. You should see the build happening.
I created a signed apk .
But , when I install it comes like this.
How can I solve this?
Uninstall your app completely and install again
Settings -> Apps -> Click on your App.
In App info page at the action bar menu there will be an option " Uninstall for All users " click that.
Your app will be completely uninstalled and now you can try installing the new version.
Also In application check the unknown sources option
I had encountered the same problem and in my case it's because I don't generate a signed APK
To Generate Signed APK first you need keystore file. You can create keystore with Android Studio with these steps :
Select Build in Menu bar
Select Generate Signed Bundle or APK
Select APK or Android App Bundle. Choose based on what you need, if you don't know what to choose just choose APK
Click Create New button under key store path textbox
Fill all the information needed
Be aware that there's 2 password textbox. The first one is keystore passowrd and the second one is key password. It' s different thing and save them on notepad or whatever so you don't forget it
Also remember the path where you save the keystore file
After creating keystore file now we begin to create the signed APK
Follow the first 3 steps form creating keystore file until you asked to choose keystore
Now for keystore we choose the one that we have been created by clicking choose existing button
Fill in the keystore password and key password
Select you destination folder for the APK, and for build variant you can choose release

I want to make the signed .apk's to release in the android market.
Steps I followed are
Make a folder with name keys and save the .apk in that.
Then right click Project->android tools->export the signed .apk
Then follow all the instructions.
But when I click on the finish button after all the changes, it will give the error
java.io.IOExeption:Invalid key formate
In Eclipse, right click on the project then Android Tools -> Export Signed application package.
Then just create your own signature key, or use an existing one if you have it.
