Join Kevin Ford for an in-depth discussion in this video Signing builds: Android, part of Visual Studio App Center for Developers.
- [Instructor] Android build signing isn't required…to put an APK onto a physical device,…but it's highly recommended…if your app ever goes to the store…or if you want to upgrade an existing version of an app…on a device.…Like our last chapter,…we're going to go in…and create a new build definition for the QA branch…for our Android application.…To do that,…we're going to go back to the main screen,…click on our organization,…and select the Android application,…click on Build,…go to the QA branch,…and configure build.…
The configuration we're going to choose is QA.…The other thing we need to configure is to scroll down…and click on Sign builds,…and here we'll look at the desktop…and we'll take our keystore for or Android Xamarin project…and drop it right here.…We'll then put in our keystore passwords and alias.…
Okay, with that complete,…we'll click on Save & Build.…Here we can see the build has completed successfully.…You can click on it and open it up,…and if we would like to download the APK,…you can click on the Download button…
