I am trying to sign an amazon wrapped apk so i can load my app to the amazon app store. I have to do this because my app uses Google Apis. All the tutorials on this are complicated when it comes to explaining how to use jarsigner. How do I access jarsigner from eclipse? Can i access it as easily as Android Tools..Export Signed Application?

EDIT

Using this tutorial I was able to access jarsigner via command line, but when i entered my password for my keystore it said "jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: and. and must reference a valid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key certificate chain." I don't know how to proceed from here.

Yes, Amazon doesn't have its own APK format - it uses Android's default APK format. In Eclipse, go to ProjectName -> Android Tools -> Export Signed Application Package.

You will have to create a keystore to sign the application. Remember to keep the keystore credentials in a safe place, it's easy to forget!

  • Thanks for responding, but i am trying to resign my apk, because it uses Google Apis. Like in this tutorial here http://www.smargav.com/post/signing-app-for-amazon-app-store/ . I am having trouble finding/using jarsigner. – B. Money Oct 02 '12 at 20:07
  • This is strange. I have an app on both the Amazon app store and Google Play, both signed through Eclipse (Which probably uses jarsigner underneath). What it wants you to do is open a CMD window and manually use the jarsigner app to sign the app – crocboy Oct 02 '12 at 20:49
  • Yeah, im having trouble accessing the jarsigner through command prompt. Didn't know whether there was an easier way of not. – B. Money Oct 02 '12 at 20:54
  • Did you add the JDK path to your PATH variable? – crocboy Oct 02 '12 at 20:58
  • I'm not familiar with that. Do I do that through build path dialog? – B. Money Oct 02 '12 at 21:03
  • No, it's a windows path thing... right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced Tab, click on Environment Variables. Under "System Variables" double click on "Path". At the very end of that string add a semi-colon, followed by the /bin directory of your JDK, usually located at "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-1-7\bin". After you add that, click "OK" and close everything. Then you should be able to use Jarsigner from a cmd window – crocboy Oct 02 '12 at 21:13
  • I still can't access it. Thanks though. – B. Money Oct 02 '12 at 22:22
  • Sorry it wouldn't work. I read somewhere that you can upload your UNSIGNED app to Amazon, and they will sign it for you... check out this link for more info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12697191/how-do-i-sign-amazon-apk/12697375#comment17142824_12697375 – crocboy Oct 02 '12 at 23:21
