Hello! I just signed a test app on Android Studio and would like to upload it to Google Play.

I did some research and I saw that zipalign facilitates the process of importing the APK, however, I only found download availability for Windows.

Can anyone tell me how I can download zipalign for the Mac?

  • zipalign is part* of the process to generate apk, it aligns all uncompressed features of apk to make it easier for Android to load them into memory (http://developer.android.com/tools/help/zipalign.html). If I’m not mistaken zipalign gets inside the Android sdk in the folder tools or platform-tools.

  • Thanks for the clarification, I will validate @Wakim

  • Oh no, I just saw it now, it gets on: android-sdk/build-tools/<versao>/zipalign.

  • I saw some tutorials where zipalign was downloaded via download. This path is indifferent to Mac and Windows, correct? @Wakim

  • Yeah, he’s part of the version of build-tools that you download by sdk manager and is independent of OS.

Using zipalign is part* of the process to generate apk, it aligns all uncompressed features of apk to make it easier for Android to load them into memory using mmap() (Developer.android.com/tools/help/zipalign.html).

His location is: android-sdk/build-tools/<versao>/zipalign
