visual studio 2013 cordova hybrid app plugin: Location of apk file

Question

I was playing with the new hybrid app plugin available for developing hybrid apps using cordova. I used the sample app that they use in the tutorial. Now the documentation here says that every time I build the solution a package is created and here they say that the package gets placed in the bin folder of visual studio project directory. I looked into the folder but there is no apk file present there. I searched the whole project directory still no luck.

Did anybody else face any similar problem? Please help me locating the apk.

Answer 1

You need to select the "Device" option instead of going for Ripple emulator in the test device drop down! It is the one with the green arrow sign.

Now when you compile the apk file gets created inside the bin directory of the solution as mentioned in the documentation.
