Facing Issues While Uploading App on Google play Made via Buildozer

I have made an app using command buildozer android debug deploy run

and then i goto my new account of gmail and simply went to devloper console and tried to upload this new apk but it says me

Upload failed

You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugging before it can be published in Google Play. Learn more about debuggable APKs.

You uploaded an APK that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK in release mode. Learn more about signing.

I have also uploaded images just check it outenter image description here

Solution

  • You should use release command instead of debug for publishing in Play Store.

    You need to sign the apk manually after that:

    Buildozer can't currently do this part for you. You need to follow the instructions at https://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html - specifically, step 1 with keytool, step 3 with jarsigner and step 4 with zipalign. You don't need step 2, that's what buildozer takes care of.

    This isn't too hard, just 3 terminal commands, and one of them (generating your key store) only needs to be done once.

    You should also read about safely securing your keys. If you lose them you won't be able to sign apps any more - you can create a new one, but then can't upgrade existing apps easily and need to make a new Play store entry etc.
