Quasar-Cordova-Apk

Simple guide to create a signed apk from a Quasar app with Cordova.

Technologies

• Quasar v1
• Cordova
• JDK

Run the following commands in the root folder of your app

Install the latest cordova release

npm install -g cordova

Install cordova dependencies in your app

quasar mode add cordova

Change to cordova folder

cd src-cordova

Install Android platform

cordova platform add android

Go back to the root folder

cd..

Build your app

quasar build -m cordova -T android

Change to cordova folder again

cd src-cordova

Build the apk

cordova build android

Run the following commands with a CMD for better compatibility

Change to the apk release folder.

cd "<ROOT-FOLDER>\src-cordova\platforms\android\app\build\outputs\apk\release\"

To create a keystore, you have to run the command below, inform the password and answer all the questions.

JDK 1.8.0_171 is the version installed in my PC.

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin\keytool.exe" -genkey -v -keystore MY_KEYSTORE.keystore -alias MY_KEYSTORE -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 20000

Finally, run this command, inform the keystore password and the apk will be signed.

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin\jarsigner.exe" -tsa http://timestamp.digicert.com -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore MY_KEYSTORE.keystore app-release-unsigned.apk MY_KEYSTORE

Good Job

Your apk is ready to be installed in your device. Enjoy!
