You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned error

Question

I have just finished and signed the apk through android studio, then I have did an apk protect through apkprotect.com when I am trying to upload the apk to play store I go

Answer 1

When using the Cordova node.js CLI without going through Android Studio, it is necessary to update the PATH environmental variable to include the android build tools:

%ANDROID_HOME%\build-tools\29.0.2

Obviously the version number will change over time. Remember to close any CLI windows and re-open them to recognize the newly added path.
