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
