I get this error when Im trying to upload my App to Google Play:

Upload failed You uploaded an APK that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK in release mode. Learn more about signing. You have exceeded the daily APK upload limit. Please upload your APK tomorrow.

Im using PhoneGap Builder and I uploaded a file index.html and I get the file converted to a .APK file, but I can not upload the App to Google Play, It asking about the license key.

Actually you are trying to upload the apk which is Signed by debug certificate. You need to create your own certificate and then sign your application with that.

Signing Your Applications is the best tutorials for that. And How to sign an android apk file is also a very good resource.

Image representation is at Build Android application package file (APK) using Eclipse IDE and Android Developer Tools (ADT) Plugin

As you are using PhoneGap so Android Signing from PhoneGap is the official documentation.

  • I get this error in my terminal -bash: zipalign: command not found, when Im using your link "How to sign an android apk file" and this when I use this code: zipalign -v 4 D:Listview.apk D:SignedListview.apk. What could be wrong? – Bruno Chavez Aug 30 '13 at 09:01
  • hey easy way to do that from export wizard... (the way which you are trying, you need to install zipalign). See the last link, there you will find some images and screen shots to be clear. Don't do step 1 from there, other are fine. – Pankaj Kumar Aug 30 '13 at 09:05

  • Ok then try using your previous attempt. You can be found zipalign under the ‘tools’ folder of the Android SDK. Here is a tutorilas about zipalign http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-zipalign-in-android-and-how-it-works-complete-guide/ – Pankaj Kumar Aug 30 '13 at 09:29
  • Added official doc of PhoneGap for the same – Pankaj Kumar Aug 30 '13 at 09:34
  • Thanks, but i can not find zipalign under the ‘tools’ folder of the Android SDK. Where can I find the tools folder? Im using https://build.phonegap.com to conert my index.html file to a apk file. – Bruno Chavez Aug 30 '13 at 09:35
  • path is under your android sdk `/sdk/tools/zipalign`. That must be there. If you doesn't find, you need to download again. – Pankaj Kumar Aug 30 '13 at 09:38
