I can't export to Release!

Bug Reports
1

Hi I’m trying to export my app for release in Andrpoid with this command: fuse build --target=Android —release but I get my APK with -debug.apkand I can’t upload the app. I already create my release.keystore like this:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore release.keystore \
    -alias application -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

and I put this on my unoproj file:

"Key": {
  "Alias": "application",
  "AliasPassword": "MyPassword",
  "Store": "release.keystore",
  "StorePassword": "MyPassword"
  }

But the release apk is not genereted! What can be?

2

It should be -crelease as far as I know (short for --configuration=Release)

Not sure why it happily goes ahead and builds, but it might misinterpret -release as -r for run perhaps…

I also try with uno build --target=Android --configuration=Release and uno build --target=Android -crelease but nothing.

Fuse create a Release folder but the apk file is signed by -debug.apk. I try to upload this version on Google Play but I get an error (that is a debug version)

Looks like there could be a problem with your project file.

You need to set Android.Key, or wrap the Key inside an Android object, like this:

"Android": {
    "Key": {
      "Alias": "application",
      "AliasPassword": "MyPassword",
      "Store": "release.keystore",
      "StorePassword": "MyPassword"
    }
}

You can look at internals by passing -p to uno build, you should see Project.Android.Key.Alias and so on there when things are working.

It’s a use case to make release builds without a valid signing key – that’s why you don’t get an error about the missing key, but we could possibly give you a warning to avoid confusion. Release builds without a key will build the C++ code in “release mode”, but the APK is still signed using a debug key.

(--release is undocumented, but also the same as --configuration=Release / -crelease)

What is wrong?

(Works after reboot + uno clean)

We’ll see if we can add a warning, or automatically remove problematic files from the build directory to reduce problems like this in the future.
