How to sign APKs

To test your app on a device you must export an application installer packet (APK). The packet MUST be digitally signed, otherwise your android phone/tablet will not let you install it.

You can use Google's debug Key and Keystore:

  • The keyring is located at /home/user/.android/debug.keystore
  • Hint: Go to window → preferences → android → build, you can see the keyring location there
  • Keystore password is 'android',
  • Key password is 'android'
  • Key alias is “androiddebugkey”
