使用Apache Cordova的Visual Studio 2015 RC中的“发布Android应用程序”没有执行任何操作

Question

I am attempting to create an Android app using the Visual Studio 2015 RC with Apache Cordova (a multi-platform hybrid app) and for some reason, when I go to:

TOOLS -> ANDROID -> PUBLISH ANDROID APP...

I get a quick thinking/circling mouse pointer then nothing.

Useful Information:

-The installation went fine and I can use the Ripple emulator fine. -I did the same steps on a machine with Comodo which allowed me to see what Visual Studio was attempting to access and it was definitely reaching out to the Java tools on the computer (I assume to build the apk).

Other than that, I have no idea! :) Thank you.

Answer 1

Thanks for using Visual Studio tools for Apache Cordova.

I presume you are using the following menu, which is added to Visual Studio by the Xamarin Tools and can be used only with Xamarin and not with Tools for Apache Cordova.

To publish an hybrid android app to Google play store, using Tools for Apache Cordova, you will have to follow manual steps which are provided here

I agree that showing this menu for tools for Apache Cordova is confusing and leading users to believe this is a supported scenario. I will take this observation/feedback with the product team and let them know.

Once again, thanks for using our tools.
