Ionic toturial for building a release.apk

sjerd · November 14, 2016, 9:19am

Do you already have the app installed on your phone from a previous version? This can cause the app to crash because of a INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE error

I don’t know if anybody said but IONIC recommends removing the cordova-plugin-console.
Here’s the hints -> https://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/publishing.html

only create a file release-signing.properties on platforms/android/ with these content:

key.store=YourApp.keystore
key.store.password=
key.alias=YourApp
key.alias.password=

What is alias can you tell me with example.

I’m trying to run the command

ionic build android --release

But error occurring saying that

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:packageRelease’.

com.android.ide.common.signing.KeytoolException: Failed to read key MyApp from store “D:\Mujib\ionic\MyApp\platforms\android\MyApp.keystore”: No key with alias ‘MyApp’ found in keystore D:\Mujib\ionic\MyApp\platforms\android\MyApp.keystore

Please let me know what I have done wrong

You’ll need a key for you app: keytool -genkey -v -keystore MyApp.keystore -alias MyApp -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

plz tell me how to generate release SHA-1 for google login…I’m getting error 10…plz help me

as far as am concern i will recommend build.phonegap.com for you to sign your app it is easy and fast and also use keystore explorer to generate the keypairs

noo it limits your app to a certain size and is incredibly slow. Once you configure your release process right making a release isn’t hard at all and will save you a bunch of itme.
