When exporting an APK, zipalign gets run to optimize the APK file. Somehow that currently ends up corrupting the signature though. To fix that, sign the .apk again with e.g. apk-signer.

This is my app : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PZVR7L7/ref=apps_sf_sta I have published this app to take admob approval for ads and Admob approved my app to serve ads but when I entered my admob data to sketchware pro and then run it,It shows me test and then someone taught me you need to sign apk from sketchware to show real ads.So I did same,But sketchware-pro is not correctly signing my apk my device show There was a problem while parsing the package I tried apk-signer as you(JavkhlanK ) suggested me but apk-signer is also crashed https://github.com/Sketchware-Pro/Sketchware-Pro/issues/684#issuecomment-1367206753. Please suggest me another way to fix it as I have no option now to add admob real ads

Did you turn on aligning in apk-signer? If yes, try turning that off.

I tried both but did not working.

[devkumar00001]

@JavkhlanK I found a way to fix admob problem I replaced test id's to my real id's using XML and Java command block.

[JavkhlanK]

Don't publish .apk files generated by the Run button. They should only be used for testing.

Thanks for your information but why?

[JavkhlanK]

They contain debug code, like test ad IDs or the debug logcat logger. There might even be more, but those .apk files just aren't meant to be shared with others.

[devkumar00001]

Ok but there is any hope to fix that?

First you have edit the apk file with the help of apk editor ,just change anything like minimum SDK 20 then build the apk and sign the exported apk with apk signer it will work definitely.

Seems like an issue in apk-signer, I don't know. Maybe try using MT Manager instead.

That won't work. The app would still be using test ad IDs, no matter if it was signed or not.

Not working bro

Caution: If you sign your APK using apksigner and make further changes to the APK, the APK's signature is invalidated. If you use zipalign to align your APK, use it before signing the APK. src:https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/apksigner

it already said what is the problem here, if I sign the project, it sign first before the zipalign, kindly see the execution process in java code (I cant find the java files for the execution order so I cant a pull a request)

[JavkhlanK]

That only applies when using apksigner, which isn't being used when exporting a signed APK or AAB. Sketchware Pro uses kellinwood's zipsigner instead, which should work like jarsigner, so it also aligns the file after signing just like that docs page tells to do.

That apparently doesn't work though! 😩

I think I've finally fixed this. Get the latest snapshot build as always if you'd like to test that out.

can I pull a request about this? I fixed it using this method, although I also fix the installation blocked by playstore, although it needs some testing before I pull a request for both this

Don't, let's keep this open until v6.4.0-rc06 is released.

I already did that with commit c5b3f09fd0c8bdddc903fccb799bceba6b3796c5, even though the app doesn't use apksigner in some cases.
