A Java-based command-line tool that signs, zipaligns, and verifies Android APK files using debug or release certificates, supporting v1-v4 Android signing schemes. It bundles an embedded debug keystore and zipalign binaries and auto-verifies after signing.
Use cases
- sign an apk with a debug keystore
- zipalign and sign multiple apks in one step
- verify apk signature and alignment
- re-sign an already signed apk with a new certificate
- sign apks with a release keystore from the command line
- batch sign a folder of apks
When to choose
- you need quick debug signing of APKs without the Android SDK build tools
- you want to sign, zipalign, and verify APKs in a single command
- you need support for v1, v2, v3, and v4 signing schemes
When to avoid
- you need fine-grained control over the signing process that apksigner itself provides
- you are building APKs as part of a Gradle build, where the built-in signing config is more integrated
- you need a GUI tool
