I made some updates to my app and exported the Android binary for this next version. When I went to upload the .apk within the Google Developer console, the file uploaded then presented a dialogue that says "You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned. You will need to run a zip align tool on your APK and upload it again.".
Are the exports not working for the Google export?
Please help.
Thanks,
Steve Lacy
Hello! zipalign utility required by Google. Please take a look here for more information http://developer.android.com/tools/he...
Hi Mariina
Can you please tell me how to use this zipalign tool and from where will i get this tool.
Hi -- The zipalign tool is provided with the Android SDK, inside the tools/ directory. To align your signed APK, execute:
code
$ zipalign -v 4 your_project_name-unaligned.apk your_project_name.apk
/code
I'm a novice and have been trying for days to get my apk files zip aligned. Google are unwilling to give a simple explanation despite it being a mandatory requirement. I have made a couple of Appery .io apps which download onto my phone and tablet, from my website, but are not acceptable to Playstore
Is there a kind soul out there who can write an idiots guide to zip aligning?
Thanks
Dan
Hi Dan,
Did you try the action recommended above?
Good afternoon Katya
Thanks for the quick response.
I tried to follow the instructions in Google and got this far. Does this help you to suggest a way forward?

Hello Dan,
Please try to use zipalign in the next format:
pre
zipalign -f -v 4 file1.apk file2.apk
/pre
file1.apk - apk file which you exported from appery.io.
file2.apk - output file for Playstore.

Let us know about results.
Good morning Igor,
Still no joy. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
