Thanks for sharing! As Prajakta mentioned, the feature is now available directly in Eclipse. Your how-to allowed me however to understand what I was doing.

The below details are there on the android dev site: –

To create a signed and aligned .apk in Eclipse:

Select the project in the Package Explorer and select File > Export.
Open the Android folder, select Export Android Application, and click Next.
The Export Android Application wizard now starts, which will guide you through the process of signing your application, including steps for selecting the private key with which to sign the .apk (or creating a new keystore and private key).
Complete the Export Wizard and your application will be compiled, signed, aligned, and ready for distribution.

Good tutorial, looks like someone at google/a eclipse plugin guru read your article… as there is an export signed option in eclipse under android tools (just like you suggested).

Cheers!

I keep getting the error “file ‘appname.apk’ does not contain AndroidManifest.xml”.
I have no idea why, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for this tutorial!

Just a note – if one changes the keytool “alias_name”, he/she must also do it in the “sign_mac_example.sh” script.

Cheers!
