I would like to test and debug a signed version of a APK file, using Apache Cordova command line. When we run either cordova build android or cordova run android --device a APK file is created at:
<project_dir>/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/debug/android-debug.apk
Can we sign this debug file before sending it to the device while running cordova run android --device?
Or is this android-debug.apk already signed with a SHA1, and if so how to get that signature?
It's already signed with the certificate of name androiddebugkey in the ~/.android/debug.keystore keystore.
To get the signature:
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore > debug.crt
openssl sha1 -binary debug.crt > debug.sha
openssl base64 -in debug.sha > debug.txt
