Whilst uploading a new version of our Android app, I had the following error display
The Android App Bundle was not signed.
The short answer is in the build type release debuggable isn't set to false.
How to solve
In the build.gradle file (path: android > app)
{
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
renderscriptDebuggable false
minifyEnabled false
}
}
}
Debuggable hadn't been set to false for release... it was missing all together. The updated file looks like:
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
renderscriptDebuggable false
}
debug {
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
renderscriptDebuggable false
minifyEnabled false
}
}
This can also be edited through Android Studio... File > Project Structure. Then go to Build Variants and select release.
