Mixing
apksigner, zipalign and jarsigner not working as expected
I have created a Xamarin Form application using Visual Studio 2017 in Windows 10 and archived the android application to APK file.
When I upload the APK to Google Play console to update my existing app, it says the APK is not signed. Then I used this command to sign the APK using the same certificate
apksigner sign --ks <KEYSTORE_FILE_NAME> --ks-key-alias <ALIAS_NAME> <APK_FILE_NAME>
When I try to upload the signed APK, it says the APK is not zipaligned. Then I used this command to zipalign
zipalign -f -v 4 <OLD_APK_FILE_NAME> <NEW_APK_FILE_NAME>
When I upload the zipaligned APK to console, it says the APK is not signed. After I sign using apksigner it says it is not zipaligned. I am keep on circulating in the same circle again and again.
Even after I zipalign the APK first and then sign, Same error messages are displaying again and again in same circle.
Even if I used jarsigner, the situation is same.
I followed the steps given here
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/publishing/signing-the-app-package/manually-signing-the-apk/
But the APK not getting uploaded. What am I doing wrong?
Please note this is not a duplicate question.
