I have recently moved from Windows to Mac. I am now trying to package my ionic app using a mac. I am getting an error when trying to run the following command:

zipalign.exe -v 4 android-armv7-release-unsigned.apk MyApparmv7.apk

Here's the log from the terminal:

Leos-MacBook-Air:apk leoc$ ls
android-armv7-debug.apk         jarsigner.exe
android-armv7-release-unsigned.apk  my-release-key.keystore
android-x86-debug.apk           zipalign.exe
android-x86-release-unsigned.apk
Leos-MacBook-Air:apk leoc$ zipalign.exe -v 4 android-armv7-release-unsigned.apk MyApparmv7.apk
-bash: zipalign.exe: command not found

I found one suggestion to include "./" at the start of the command but I got the same problem. By the way, the zipalign.exe came from my windows machine - not sure if this causes the problem because I was able to run the jarsigner.exe from my windows machine in my mac. I also cannot find the zipalign.exe in my mac after installing Eclipse.

  • You are trying to run a _windows_ executable on _macOS_ which is unix based? Maybe start somewhere more basic than programming. – David Oct 05 '17 at 12:32
  • yeah, I'm quite new to unix which is why I mentioned that I tried running the jarsigner.exe from my windows machine and it worked. I just don't know how to get hold of the zipalign for mac if the windows version is not valid. – leo c Oct 05 '17 at 12:36
  • @Dmitry , I saw that. However, I still have the same problem even if I add the "./" before the zipalign. Also, if I run the command find . -name "zipalign.*" from the root folder, the zipalign.exe that I transferred from windows is the only one that appears. – leo c Oct 05 '17 at 12:41
  • Did you try without `.exe`? – Dmitry Oct 05 '17 at 12:42
  • yes. I tried both with the same result. really weird problem.... – leo c Oct 05 '17 at 12:43
  • ok, I looked at the solution again and when I changed the find command to find . -name "zipalign", I found that there is a file in the android folder. thanks for your help. – leo c Oct 05 '17 at 12:58
