How to get zipalign for mac?

Question

I already have a release unsigned version apk and I am trying to sign it on my mac. On the last step it suggests to zipalign the signed apk but mac doesn\'t have zipalign.

Answer 1

From your Mac terminal:

Add adb to command line path:

echo 'export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk' >> ~/.bash_profile

Add build tools to command line path:

echo 'export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/28.0.2' >> ~/.bash_profile

Refresh command line with:

source ~/.bash_profile

Then you can run it with:

zipalign -v -p 4 my-app-unsigned.apk my-app-unsigned-aligned.apk
