I'm developing an Android app with the Android Developer Tool. Now I tried the new Android Studio, everything works fine if connect my smartphone with the PC and directly run the program in the Android Studio. But now I want to test the program with other smartphones without connecting them to my PC.
The ADT creates the .apk file under "projectname/bin" every time you compile the program. How I see it at the moment, Android Studio doesn't do that.
So, my question is: Is it possible to create an unsigned .apk file with Android Studio?
I would recommend you to build your APK file with Gradle:
assemble
Your unsigned APK is now located in
ProjectName\app\build\outputs\apk
For detailed information on how to use Gradle, this tutorial is good to go: Building with Gradle in Android Studio . I also wrote ablog post on how to build an unsigned APK with Gradle.
If you moved your project from the other IDE and don't want to recompile , you may find your APK file that was already built in the IDE you moved from:
If you generated the Project with Android Studio, the APK file will be found in ProjectName/ProjectName/build/apk/...
Imported the project from eclipse: File should be in the same directory. Go to Project
- Show in Explorer
. There you should find the bin folder where your APK file is located in.
Imported from IntelliJ, the location would be ProjectName/out/production/...
Side note: As Chris Stratton mentioned in his comment:
Technically, what you want is an APK signed with a debug key. An APK that is actually unsigned will be refused by the device.
According to Build Unsigned APK with Gradle you can simply build your application with gradle. In order to do that:
Edit configurations
alt+insert
Gradle
Gradle project
Tasks:
enter assemble
OK
After that you should find your unsigned 'apk' in directory ProjectName\\app\\build\\outputs\\apk
The easiest way, I guess:
只需转到 BUILD->Build APK 就完成了
AndroidStudio 3.4
After Grade Build Running
complete, you will see the notification at bottom-right corner like.
Click on locate
and you will see your debuggable APK
Step 1 Open android studio . Build -> Generate Signed APK… . now click on “Generate Signed APK”.
Step 2
Click Create new.
Step 3
Fill the details and click ok.
jks key details,It will go back to previous window.
Click Next, and give the password which you stored in key.
Step 4
Now click Finish and wait to complete the building process.
Now apk generated successfully. Click show in Explorer.

Yes, it is possible to create an unsigned .apk with Android Studio!
Highlight the Project in your package explorer or project column, and then File
- Project Structure
- Artifacts
- +
- Android Application
- From module 'your app'
and then you can change the location and some other options. I enable build on make, just for ease.
Build -> Build APK //unsigned app
Build -> Generate Signed APK //Signed app
With Android Studio 2.2.3 on OSX I just used the top menu:
Build > Build APK
It opened Finder with the .apk
file. This won't generate a signed APK. You can select Generate Signed APK
from the same menu if needed.
Just go to Your Application\\app\\build\\outputs\\apk
and copy both to phone and install app-debug.apk
Following work for me:
Keep following setting blank if you have made in build.gradle.
signingConfigs {
release {
storePassword ""
keyAlias ""
keyPassword ""
}
}
and choose Gradle Task from your Editor window. It will show list of all flavor if you have created.
--- Create new config in signingConfigs
unsigned {
//do not sign
}
--- Create build type in buildTypes
unsigned {
versionNameSuffix '-unsigned'
}
--- Go to build variants and chose unsigned standard. Build project.
--- Go to "outputs/apk" and find "XXX-unsigned.apk". To check if it is unsigned try to install it to device - you'll fail.
For unsigned APK: Simply set signingConfig null. It will give you appName-debug-unsigned.apk
debug {
signingConfig null
}
And build from Build menu. Enjoy
For signed APK:
signingConfigs {
def keyProps = new Properties()
keyProps.load(rootProject.file('keystore.properties').newDataInputStream())
internal {
storeFile file(keyProps.getProperty('CERTIFICATE_PATH'))
storePassword keyProps.getProperty('STORE_PASSWORD')
keyAlias keyProps.getProperty('KEY_ALIAS')
keyPassword keyProps.getProperty('KEY_PASSWORD')
}
}
buildTypes {
debug {
signingConfig signingConfigs.internal
minifyEnabled false
}
release {
signingConfig signingConfigs.internal
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
keystore.properties file
CERTIFICATE_PATH=./../keystore.jks
STORE_PASSWORD=password
KEY_PASSWORD=password
KEY_ALIAS=key0
Now in Android Studio v1.1.0 should be:
Run
> Run <your app>
<your app>\\build\\outputs\\apk
Android studio 也会在每次编译程序的时候创建apk 文件,只要到你的workspace 文件夹中找到app->build->outputs-> 就可以看到apk 文件了。
You can click the dropdown near the run button on toolbar,
Now press ok,
all you need to do is now select your configuration from the dropdown and press run button. It will take some time. Your unsigned apk is now located in
Project\app\build\outputs\apk
I solve it!
First off all, you should add these:
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
After, you should click Build in top bar of Android Studio:
Build > Build Bundle(s) / APK(s) > Build APK(s)
Finally, you have an app-debug.apk file in:
app > build > outputs > apk > debug > app-debug.apk
Note : apk, debug, app-debug.apk files created automatically in outputs file by Android Studio.
Steps for creating unsigned APK
Steps for creating unsigned APK • Click the dropdown menu in the toolbar at the top • Select "Edit Configurations" • Click the "+" • Select "Gradle" • Choose your module as a Gradle project • In Tasks: enter assemble • Press Run • Your unsigned APK is now located in - ProjectName\\app\\build\\outputs\\apk Note : Technically, what you want is an APK signed with a debug key. An APK that is actually unsigned will be refused by the device. So, Unsigned APK will give error if you install in device.
