zipalign: command not found

Question

I\'m working on Ionic project now whereby I want to zipalign the android-release-unsigned.apk file. I followed this guide by Ionic.

When I run

Answer 1

I solved this problem by making the zipalign path an environment variable:

export ZIPALIGN_PATH=~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/30.0.3/zipalign

Then I replaced zipalign with $ZIPALIGN_PATH in the script I was trying to run

Answer 2

If you're using Windows, the right way is to add path to zipalign.exe as PATH environment variable.

1. Finding where zipalign.exe is located in your PC, in my case this was

C:\Users\random-username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\build-tools\24.0.1

2. Then add this location as one of the entries in your PATH environment variable.

Answer 3

Solved!

1. I copied zipalign file from my Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/21.1.2 into my Ionic project folder

2. I add ./ in front of the zipalign command like this - ./zipalign -v 4 /Users/zulhilmizainudin/Desktop/kl-parking/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk android-release.apk

3. Done. Now I get android-release.apk inside my Ionic project folder.

Thanks to Michael for the solution!
