An error occurred while resigning the app 'selendroid-test-app-0.15.0.apk'
If you got the same error message while trying to start the Selendoid server with your apk file, try the below to fix it :
Solution :
- Check JAVA_HOME is set properly
- Set System variable with name "JAVA_HOME" with value set to Java jdk like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\"
- Check ANDROID_HOME is set properly
- Set System variable with name "ANDROID_HOME" with value set to Android Sdk like "C:\Users\lalit\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\"
Still after setting the above variables correctly, if you see any error try to sign your app manually using below command
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin> jarsigner.exe -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -signedjar < apk file path > -storepass android -keystore <keystore location> < apk file path > androiddebugkey
Example:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin > jarsigner.exe -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -signedjar C:\Users\lalit\Downloads\selendroid-test-app-0.15.0.apk -storepass android -keystore C:\Users\lalit\.android\debug.keystore C:\Users\lalit\Downloads\selendroid-test-app-0.15.0.apk androiddebugkey
If it fails and throws error like jarsigner: unable to open jar file
Solution :
- Try to rename your *.apk file to *.zip
- Open the zip file and verify its opened successfully, and if it does not then its currupt apk file :( and need to be changed :)
