Cannot Find Zip-Align When Publishing App

cannot find zip-align when publishing app

I had the same problem.
And to fix it, I copy the Zipalign file from sdk/build-tools/android-4.4W folder to sdk/tools/

Edited: Since Google updated SDK for Android, new build-tools does fix this problem. So I encouraged everyone to update to Android SDK Build-tools 20 as suggested by Pang in the post below.

the zipalign tool was not found in the sdk

In Eclipse, go to Window → Android SDK Manager, check Android SDK **Build-tools** Rev. 20 and then click Install.

After the update restart Eclipse and try again.

You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned when running Devops Pipeline Build

The issue was the path to the APK within the pipeline. Once this was set correctly the APK uploaded fine into Google Play Store.

zipalign error : The system cannot find the file specified

Please avoid the [](Square Brackets) and <>

For example:

D:\android-sdk\android-sdk\tools>zipalign -f -v 4 "C:\Users\name\Desktop\project_name\projectname_signed.apk" "C:\Users\name\Desktop\project_name\projectname__zipaligned.apk"

It will work

You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned error

You can run zipalign manually in command line:

zipalign [-f] [-v] <alignment> infile.apk outfile.apk

Note that zipalign is located inside ${sdk.dir}\tools

[Update]

Also, If you need to sign it you can run:

jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore YOURKEYSTORE unsigned.apk alias_name

(jarsigner is located inside java JDK_HOME/bin)

How to zipalign the apk file in Windows

Make sure you have the Android SDK build-Tools installed then check where your SDK is installed mine was at C:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.1\zipalign You will find zipAlign in the android build tools then use it like so:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.1\zipalign -v 4 infile.apk outfile.apk

Usage

To align infile.apk and save it as outfile.apk:

zipalign [-f] [-v] <alignment> infile.apk outfile.apk

To confirm the alignment of existing.apk:

zipalign -c -v <alignment> existing.apk

The alignment is an integer that defines the byte-alignment boundaries. This must always be 4 (which provides 32-bit alignment) or else it effectively does nothing.

Flags:

-f : overwrite existing outfile.zip

-v : verbose output

-c : confirm the alignment of the given file

output from windows (extra parameters not in the Docs :O) :
