Hello,
If you are looking for, to build or generate the android apk file (in your capacitor project) directly from the command line rather then opening Android Studio and building up.
I will share few steps and challenges face to build android apk from CLI on windows and also would share below the mac version of command line code too incase you are mac user.
First step first,
Before running the CLI command which I will be sharing below, we make sure we add the two things under Environment variables of windows system.
Next, just try out these command you will be good to go
cd android &&
gradlew.bat assembleRelease &&
cd app/build/outputs/apk/release &&
jarsigner -keystore YOUR_KEYSTORE_PATH -storepass YOUR_KEYSTORE_PASS app-release-unsigned.apk YOUR_KEYSTORE_ALIAS &&
zipalign 4 app-release-unsigned.apk app-release.apk
In Code above, note we are using gradlew.bat which is important to note for window users reset is same for MAC command too (didn’t tested on mac, channel of command source from the post), result would working for me on windows!
cd android &&
./gradlew assembleRelease &&
cd app/build/outputs/apk/release &&
jarsigner -keystore YOUR_KEYSTORE_PATH -storepass YOUR_KEYSTORE_PASS app-release-unsigned.apk YOUR_KEYSTORE_ALIAS &&
zipalign 4 app-release-unsigned.apk app-release.apk
If you like to generate for debug just changed assembleRelease to assembleDebug and change the file names accordingly, from release to debug or whatever names you would like to prefix or suffix.
Hope this gives ideas and info for the challenge you might facing.
Happy Learning & Thanks for visit.
