Question

I am trying to create an .apk file for my mobile using cordova (Android) platform on ubuntu 14.04.

for unsigned i used command

$ cordova build --re         


        

Answer 1

Create a keystock for signed apk

a.  keytool -genkey -v -keystore NAME-mobileapps.keystore -alias NAMEmobileapps -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
b.  create a file inside android folder using name "ant.properties"
c.  Add these line with your keystock full path and alise name.
    key.store=/home/chandradeo/xxx.keystore
    key.alias=xxx

Run command

$ cordova build android --release

or

$ cordova build --release android

This will give you both signed and unsigned apk under ant-build folder

Thanks
