Android Question B4A V5.01 Compiling without signing

[iz2bkt]

Hi,
in version 5.01 of B4A how can compile without signing the apk?

 

[Peter Simpson]

Use the keystore called debug.keystore or whatever the debug key is called.

Why were you using this option in the past?

You can compile without signing with the command line builder.

B4A version 4: Project -> Compile (without signing)

I need to use non-B4A keystore and sign the apk manually.

Use the debug key during development and use the command line builder when you need to release it.

Ok, thank you, Erel.

iz2bkt. I need to do the same thing. I have used the command line builder to get the apk file. And I have the keystore file from the previous version created with Ecllipse. Are there any more parts that I need and what are the remaining steps?

Thanks,

See these instructions: http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html#signing-manually

Thanks,

I made a batch command with these instructions:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\bin\jarsigner.exe" -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore eclipse.keystore temp.apk alias_name
zipalign -v 4 temp.apk YourApp.apk

where:
eclipse.keystore : your key used with eclipse
alias_name : name used to build eclipse.keystore
temp.apk : apk no signed
YourApp.apk : final apk signed
