You can sign your app from the command line using standard tools from the Android SDK and the JDK

Answer 1

apksigner shipped with Android SDK Build Tools 24.0.3 (see https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/build-tools.html). The tool can be found in the Android SDK's build-tools/ directory. For example, build-tools/24.0.3/apksigner on Linux/OSX and build-tools/24.0.3/apksigner.bat on Windows.
