无法将 Phonegap 构建的 APK 上传到 Google Play 控制台

Question

I have just tried to upload a APK (as a beta release) generated from Phonegap Build to the Google Play Store.

Getting an error as follows:

Upload failed

You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugging before it can be published in Google Play.

When I generated the apk from Phonegap the debuggable option is unmarked.

Any idea? Almost same application was uploaded last year and I didn't get that error.

Answer 1

First, generate your private key using the keytool command that comes with the JDK using the following command

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Then create a file build.json like below and put it in your <projectfolder>/buildConfig folder

{
 "android": {
     "release": {
         "keystore": "my-release-key.keystore",
         "alias": "alias_name",
         "storePassword": "secretPassword",
         "password" : "secretPassword"
     }
 }
}

Keep your my-release-key.keystore file in <projectfolder>/buildConfig folder

Then execute the following command

ionic cordova build android --prod --release --buildConfig ./buildConfig/build.json

The solution was adding an Android Key and to enable it. Without iOS or Android key the build won't work.
