| We'll I have been following therevills guide; http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/post.php?topic=1014&post=8800 which everyone but me seem to be able to follow with no issues. I am failing on the 2nd part it seems (signing). Doesn't help that I don't fully understand why we have to do this so if someone could explain that would be super. Here is what I am doing. Pre-stage ========= 1. compile the game 2. rename "MonkeyGame-debug.apk" to "mygame.apk" 3. create a folder on my e drive "e:\test\" and put mygame.apk in there 4. open the mygame.apk and delete the META-INF folder Stage 1 (create a keystore file called mykey) ======= 1. create a folder in my "e:\test\" location called "keystore" and a folder inside keystore called "keys" (e:\test\keystore\keys) 2. open cmd (as admin) 3. cd to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\ 4. keytool -genkey -alias mykey.keystore -keyalg RSA -validity 20000 -keystore e:/game/keystore/keys/mykey.keystore 5. answer questions 6. I don't understand why it wants me to set another password? so i hit enter. 7. mykey.keystore is now in e:\game\keystore\keys\ Stage 2 ======= 1. cd to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\ 2. jarsigner -verbose -keystore e:/test/keystore/keys/mykey.keystore -signedjar e:/test/mygame-signed.apk e:/test/mygame.apk e:/test/keystore/keys/mykey.keystore I get error; jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: e:/test/keystore/keys/mykey.keystore. e:/test/keystore/keys/mykey.keystore must reference a valid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key certificate chain. I have done this many times starting from scratch I did somehow get it to sign once then I zip-aligned it but it would not install on my device? Just don't see what is going wrong? I am at the end of tether, spent all day getting videos, screen shots and various other promo stuff made and I get stuck as the last bit. grrrrrr |

ok well I think I got it, jarsigner needs two extra switches if you have JDK7-digestalg SHA1 -sigalg MD5withRSA Used these and it went through ok? and installed but did give some error, going to install JDK 6.0.24 |

| ok good so installing 6.0.24 made all my troubles go away. I also found this rather neat .bat file. That does the signing and zipping. @echo off Title Sign an unsigned apk set OLDDIR=%CD% cls echo. echo You will need to copy your keystore file echo eg. my-release-key.keystore echo into the same folder as this script. echo. echo Please place your unsigned app in the same echo directory as this program, when you have echo done this please type in its name below: echo. echo. set /p apk= What is the filename (including the .apk at the end)? echo Your app is named %apk% echo. echo. echo while creating your Private Key, what did you put as your ALIASNAME? set /p alias= Aliasname echo. echo Is the Java JDK in your path? echo if you do not know what this means, please type "N" CHOICE /C:YN /M "Java JDK in path?" If errorlevel 2 goto nojdk If errorlevel 1 goto jdk :nojdk echo. echo. echo It is recommended that you put the jdk in your path echo To see how please visit this web page: echo http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/install-windows-152927.html echo. echo. pause cls echo. echo. :jdk echo ok, you will need to type in your password when prompted jarsigner.exe -verbose -keystore my-release-key.keystore %apk% %alias% echo. echo. echo Checking it is signed correctly jarsigner -verify %apk% echo. echo If you got an error you probably echo compiled your apk with a key echo (probably the debug key). echo Try recompiling it without signing echo and then copy and paste the echo resulting temp.ap_ file here. echo. echo. echo Now we just need to zipalign the apk echo. echo. echo. set /p final= What do you want the finished apk to be called?: echo %final% it is echo. pause zipalign -v 4 %apk% %final% echo. echo. pause cls Pause |
