For complete signing process do follow steps. (Zip align manually after build- signed apk)

Step 0: Before sign apk add code in your app module.gradle file : set zippAlignEnable and minifyEnable true.

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            //zipAlignEnabled true 
           //uncomment for automatically zip aligned by studio
        }
    }

Step 1: Sign your APK, relese mode more info

Step 2: find location : .\your sdk\build-tools\24.0.0
