Signature algorithm error while trying to upload apk to Google Play Store

Question

When I try to upload my apk to the google play store I get the following error.

Upload failed

You uploaded an APK with an invalid signature. Error from apksigner: ERROR (Jar signer CERT.RSA): JAR signature META-INF/CERT.RSA uses digest algorithm SHA-256 and signature algorithm RSA which is not supported on API Level(s) 16-17 for which this APK is being verified

Does anybody know how I can change the signature algorithm, or how to solve this error?

While generating signed apk check option v1 (jar signature) and uncheck option v2 since v2 is for newer ones!

if it doesn't work then: Do clean , rebuild project and create new .jks key and do the same!

For reference: difference between signature versions - V1(Jar Signature) and V2(Full APK Signature) while generating signed apk in AndroidStudio?
