Not able to run Calabash test with Xamrin Project

[saikrishna321]

I resigned the apk file which was found in the project

Ran the below command to execute the tests calabash-android run FieldService.Android/FieldService.Android.apk -p android features/login.feature

Got the below problem

Scenario: Login with valid user # features\login.feature:3 Initial app and test-server install2540 KB/s (3965110 bytes in 1.524s) 260 KB/s (528784 bytes in 1.983s) App did not start (RuntimeError) C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/calabash-android-0.4.6/lib/calabash-androi d/operations.rb:390:in block in start_test_server_in_background' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/retriable-1.3.3/lib/retriable/retriable.rb :31:inperform' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/retriable-1.3.3/lib/retriable/retriable.rb :50:in `retriable'

When i manually open the apk on device after the resign , it doesnt launch rather just a blank screen is seen

There is a bug in the resign code which causes resign to fail on Xamarin Android apps. On OSX this can be resolved by resigning using an alternative method. On windows we don't have a fix the moment - we're looking into this.

OSX fix : resign.sh

#!/bin/bash
tmp_resign_apk_path="/tmp/tmp_path_for_resigned.apk"
echo $tmp_resign_apk_path
rm $tmp_resign_apk_path
zip $1 -d "META-INF/*"
jarsigner -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android $1 androiddebugkey
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/zipalign 4 $1 $tmp_resign_apk_path
mv $tmp_resign_apk_path $1

Thanks Karl, I have tried the way which is mentioned in the link . Still i have same issue .

App get resigned and gets installed , when i open the application manually nothing happens .

Looking forward for this issue to be fixed .

If i build the Xamarin application from Xamarin Studio and can i test that apk file with calabash on the same machine ?

sh resign.sh FieldService.Android.apk /tmp/tmp_path_for_resigned.apk zip warning: name not matched: META-INF/*
