Question

I Want to upload my apk to google play store.but its Show me error like this.

**You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugg         


        

Answer 1

This should be the flags for uploading the Apk to Playstore. Not needed to be release build. If you want to test your qa build, you can do ./gradlew assembleQa with flags

minifyEnabled true
debuggable false
shrinkResources true
testCoverageEnabled = false

Answer 2

I was having the same problem. Unknowingly I kept

debuggable true in release buildType

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            shrinkResources false
            debuggable true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

        }
    }

After changed to false. Its working fine.

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            shrinkResources true
            debuggable false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

        }
    }

Answer 3

Don't use the debug variant output! Build a release apk. You can do that in Android Studio by going to the menu Build -> Generate Signed APK. Or by executing ./gradlew assembleRelease if you have properly configured signing in the build file.

Answer 4

I ran into this error and my application did not reference debuggable anywhere. After a little bit of searching, I found that I accidentally had testCoverageEnabled true in my release build type.

release {
    testCoverageEnabled true
    ...
}

Removing this resolved the issue.

Answer 5

In my build.gradle file, I had debuggable = false and I was wondering why I'm getting this issue. later I found that it was debuggable = true in my AndroidManifest.xml file's application tag
