Signature problem (Android)

Francky033

I have a signature problem when I try to generate a armebi-v7a application for Android:

I get the following error message:

Error while building/deploying project xxxxx  (kit: Android for armeabi-v7a (Clang Qt 5.12.2 for Android ARMv72))
When executing step "Build Android APK"

I use:
Qt 5.12.2
SDK 26.1.1
NDK 19.2.5345600
build-tools 28.0.3
JDK: jdk1.8.0_181

Everything was going until now. This is the first time I have received an error message of this type.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

@Francky033
have you tried deleting the whole build folder yet? and build again

Francky033

Yes ! without result...

@Francky033 I remember having something similar.

That was due to special characters inside the app signing certificate a ü in my case.

@J.Hilk said in Signature problem (Android):

app signing certificate

I have found the source of the problem. In fact, apksigner is called before the end of the construction of the apk file, hence the error message about the structure of this file!

In the build-tools directory of the Android SDK, it is therefore necessary to add a TIMEOUT in the apksigner.bat file

I am having the exact same problem:

Since I am using a Mac OS, I don't have that apksigner.bat file.

Any other idea how to fix this?

Hello,

I have the same issue on MacOS. I tried to put a sleep 60 at the beginning of the apksigner script shell but it is not working...
Does someone have a solution?

I'm using Qt 5.13 for MAcOS with ANDROID NDK 18

I reinstalled the ANDROID SDK and it is working now...
