my app work well on my device when I run it but when I try to make signed apk to publish my app I can't find it .
I tried a lot of times and searched in my project folder.
How can I find my signed apk???
In android studio
1) Click on 'Build' -> 'Generate Signed APK'
2) Fill keystore path ,alias, password...
3) Click on Next
4) You can see 'APK Destiantion Folder' field. Set your destination path as desktop
5) Click on Finish.
You can find your .apk file in desktop.
You need following things in order to produce signed apk file
The keystore file which has the extension .jks and its password.
The android project which has no compile-time errors.
The following steps to be followed.
Choose Build>Generate Signed apk option in the android studio.
Select the keystore file and enter its password.
Click Next then Finish.
After a successful build, you will get a link to the folder containing output file.
If you want to navigate manually, your signed apk file will be in
Project Folder -> app -> release -> app-release.apk

I am new for Android that's why i'm asking this much of doubts. I Developed one project i want send Apk file to some one else.i want get my APK file from my project please help me.
Build -> Build APK.
If you want to create a signed APK you should follow other process but i think you will be ok with this. Then Android Studio generate link to your local folder in event log with apk.
Like this:
Open your project is file explorer then open app folder then open build folder then open output folder then open apk folder...here you will get your apks.
File Explorer-->app-->build-->Output-->apk folder
For Eclipse.
You can take it from Your Project -> bin folder.
From Android Studio.
You can take it from Your Project -> app -> build -> outputs -> apk -> app-debug.apk
If you want to generate signed APK it will give you option where you want to generate your APK and set your path.
Using Android Studio
Build -> Generate APK
then the output apk build location will appear.
Or
YourProjectName -> app -> build -> outputs -> apk
I am developed one app and i have deleted all log.d and all other log's.
I also changed in manifest file "Debuggable=False",then i again cleaned my project and test it on device.after that i have created the keystore using export wizard & then created a zipaligned apk file using CMD.
But now still am not able to upload it,it showing the error as:
"You uploaded an APK that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK in release mode."
Please can any one tell me how to make .apk as release mode in eclipse ADT.
Go to:-
Right click on project-> Android tools-> Export Signed APK.
Follow to the credentials of keystore and its done.
Try this and let me know.
Refer this android signing your application generate a keystore and attach it to your application
Right click on your project
go to export -> android -> Export android application -> next
then it will show your project
Create new key store
here you have give the name of the keystore file extension is .jks
and password (this keystore file should be kept safe cause every time when you release update of your app you should sign with this keystore and remember the password)
fill the details in next page
destination location of your apk file .
Follow the steps
When I try to put an APK on Google Play it says I need to signed my application.
I use Eclipse, and my structure files are the following:
My Project
Folder src
-> main.myproject
Folder gen
-> adapters.myproject
-> classes.myproject
-> com.myproject
How should I export signed application? If you say to me that the steps are:
Right click on the project -> Android Tools -> Export Signed
, when I finish those steps I lose all items (except com.myproject) from my 'Folder Gen'. How's that possible?
I know how to Align APK. Yesterday I put my first application on Google Play. I did the Android Tools -> Export Signed thing (I've lost my files, but I had backup..), then I align the APK and send it to Google Play.
Today I want to update the APK in Google Play, I know I have to change the version, but what about the signed thing? Thanks.
Edit: Solved.
First problem: don't ever put your files into Gen folder, always use the SRC folder.
Second problem: because I put the files into Gen Folder, when compiled the files were deleted
Dont panic about the gen folder as Eclipse is rebuilding the apk using your keystore.
1.increment the version code and right click on the project and select Export
2.then click on Export Android Application
3.Then use the keystore which you have created to upload this app on Playstore
4.And choose the destination to where you want to put the apk file and just publish it on playstore for backup.
To install the signed apk
1.open the command prompt(cmd)
2.go to the android sdk folder
3.go to the platform-tools folder
4.then type adb install path_to_your_APK
That's it..enjoy!
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.
I am developing for an application currently.
But when i will finish my app developement and i create .apk, should i sign it or make it unsigned while giving my app to my client for testing on their own devices??
He should not be able to put this apk on market as an author/ He should not distribute without my permission.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
You can sign with your debug key which in windows resides in: username/.android/debug.keystore
Password is: android
Sec password is: android
Edit: But if the person has some knowledge he can just resign it with another key, you can't really protect yourself against this (afaik).
Steps:
In Android Studio Generate Build APK
Build -> Build APK
You get popup once apk is generated
Build APK
Apk(s) generated successfully.
Shown in File Manager.
Goto https://www.diawi.com/ and signup if if you are a new user, else login.
In above link you may find option "Upload your app".
Inside that box you ma find "Drag&drop files here .ipa or .zip(.app) .apk"
So Drag and Drop apk file or Browse apk file using + Add file(s) button.
After uploading apk Click on Send button.
This will generate a URL and Barcode.
Share that URL with a person who want to test the build.
you don't need to sign using debug key, android sdk does it automatically, and android applications signed by debug key is not possible to upload on market, you can get apk file in bin directry of your project.
file-> export
click on android
select "export android application"
specify the path
