Prerequisites

  1. Create a private key according to this: http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html#secure-key keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias scb_app -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
  2. Create ant.properties file with the following lines: key.store=/anton/Workspace/android- keys/my-release-key.keystore key.alias=scb_app

Build and sign app

  1. cordova build android
  2. cd platforms/android
  3. ant release
  4. cd bin
  5. jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore /Users/anton/Workspace/usb-app/android-keystore/my-release-key.keystore CordovaApp-release-unsigned.apk scb_app
  6. jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs CordovaApp-release-unaligned.apk
