the zipalign tool was not found in the sdk

Question

When I want to export a signed apk, I get this message :

the zipalign tool was not found in the sdk

I've updated my sdk, my eclipse, still get it. Then, I saw I had no file called zipalign in my sdk/tools folder. So I copied one I had in another sdk folder, as I saw in another post.

I checked this post : Error while running zipalign I'm exporting to the desktop, so I have rights.

I have no idea, what should I do now. It seems that this problems happens after updating sdk

PD: I use Mac.

Any Idea?

Fixed ! I saw the first solution : Copying the file and it didn't work, but now I installed Android SDK Build-tools Rev. 20 and it is working! Thanks ! — Juliatzin, Jul 07 '14 at 19:09
I already had the Build tools 20, i copied the file and it didn't work. How do you update something that is already up-to-date ? — Tsunaze, Jul 11 '14 at 10:23
Now Zipalign tool is present at this location at /path/to/sdk/build-tools/zipalign.exe — Sudhanshu Gaur, May 17 '16 at 14:03

In Eclipse, go to Window → Android SDK Manager, check Android SDK **Build-tools** Rev. 20 and then click Install.

After the update restart Eclipse and try again.
