Hi there
I’m trying to build my app with a release version but when I install it it always gives me (The package appears to be currupted)
I also tried to create a new app and then build it with release and prod, the problem still the same.
But with debug version it works fine.
I tried to use both release and prod.
I tried to install it in different device.
All attempts failed
Hope you can help me
Thank you

Signing issue?
Android or iOS?
What command are you using to build?
What is your ionic info output?
Building Android released app
@ionic/cli-utils : 1.13.0
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.13.0
global packages:
cordova (Cordova CLI) : 6.5.0
local packages:
@ionic/app-scripts : 3.0.0
Cordova Platforms : android 6.1.2
Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.7.1
System:
Node : v6.11.4
npm : 3.10.10
OS : Windows 7If there is no reason to keep these versions, update them.
We also still need the exact command you are executing to build.
ionic cordova build android --release
&
ionic cordova build android --prod --release
Build process is fine? No error messages?
Can you install when you just run ionic cordova build android?
Yes, it builds fine. But during installation it shows the package appears to be corrupted.
ionic cordova build android with this command the app works fine
What is your keystore configuration?
Today, I have reinstall Android Studio and install the SDK and required tools and platforms. Also I have reinstall Node.js, Ionic, and cordova.

Here is my keytool
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_144\bin
I have add this to environment variables (PATH)
But still gave me error
In Powershell you have to add ./ in front of the commands.
still getting ‘keytool’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
Finally, solved. Thank you so much for your helps.
keytool was not recognized because there was some error in my PATH variable.
Now my application is installed.
Thanks again.
