mobile
1

I have recently updated my meteor version and my current version is 2.3.6.
to self sign my apk i am using tools – jarsigner , build-tools/26.0.2/zipalign and build-tools/26.0.2/apksigner

when i run apksigner sign command i am getting the bellow error:

Exception in thread "main" com.android.apksig.apk.MinSdkVersionException: Failed to determine APK's minimum supported platform version. Use --min-sdk-version to override
        at com.android.apksigner.ApkSignerTool.sign(ApkSignerTool.java:332)
        at com.android.apksigner.ApkSignerTool.main(ApkSignerTool.java:89)
Caused by: com.android.apksig.apk.MinSdkVersionException: Failed to determine APK's minimum supported Android platform version

here is my mobile-config.js configs —

App.setPreference(‘android-targetSdkVersion’, ‘30’);

App.setPreference(‘android-minSdkVersion’, ‘22’);

You need at least build-tools 30.0.3 for targeting SDK version 30.

Can you try to upgrade your sdk build tools first and then try again?

The issue has been resolved,
Fix: added --min-sdk-version 22 with apksigner sign command.

Hi sunee, how did you manage to do this? jarsigner no longer works for target version 30 upload of apk.

You have to use apksigner.

no need to use apksigner you can download signed apks of google account manager 8.0 from the web.
