Android says my APK is no ZipAligned after building a release from Visual Studio !

Any ideas anyone?

You'll find some stuff about it in the documentation

Yes, That is what I am doing....

It doesn't work ?!?!?

Christian.Schmidt

I'm currently having the same problem...

JohnClavey

so the good news is it is not just me
bad news is this is delaying my progress again
I am just trying to update to VS2015 update 3 (been processing for 3 hours so far ?!?) to see if that fixes this ....

This links did help:

I used this zipalign tool from the latest SDK and it ran successfully...

In case this helps, I just answered a similar question where I provided my step-by-step work-around to that issue.
