Error when generate signed apk

I've tried to upload my apk on google play and encountered an error message: "You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugging before it can be published in Google Play. Learn more about debuggable APKs."

Then I wrote android:debuggable="false" in my manifest and tried again. I've encountered the same error, so I"ve seted the build variant from my module to release and generate an apk again, but this, generated this error:

android:debuggable="false"

Error:Gradle: Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.
Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target.
To proceed, either fix the issues identified by lint, or modify your build script as follows:
...
android {
lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
// Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
// but continue the build even when errors are found:
abortOnError false
}
}
...

I had this problem and worked around it by adding

lintOptions {

checkReleaseBuilds false

}


to my build.grade file within the android{ } section.

build.grade

android{ }

I wouldn't recommend turning off the lint checks, they're there for a reason. Instead, check what the error is and fix it.

The error report is saved to [app module]/build/reports/lint-results-yourBuildName-fatal.html. You can open this file in a browser to read about the errors.

[app module]/build/reports/lint-results-yourBuildName-fatal.html

It would be nice if Gradle could make it a little more clear where the error report is generated.

gradlew lint

fix the issues identified by lint

I have faced same issue when creating signed apk from android studio. I just change little bit change on build.gradle file inside android {}

lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
abortOnError false
}


Make sure you defined all the translations in all the string.xml files

string.xml

In case that you may trying to locate where the problem is, I found mine in the following path of my project: /app/build/reports/lint-results-release-fatal.html(or .xml).

Hope this helps!

***Try this***

buildTypes {
release {
lintOptions {
disable 'MissingTranslation'
checkReleaseBuilds false
abortOnError false
}
minifyEnabled false
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
}


Try These 3 lines in your app.gradle file.

android {
lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
// Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
// but continue the build even when errors are found:
abortOnError false
}


Windows -> references ->Android->lint error checking.

un tick Run full error.......

Remove that statement from your manifest altogether, Eclipse will handle that for you on the fly.

You should add the code in project level gradle file for generating apk overwriting over errors

My problem was a missing translation. I had a settings.xml that was not translated as it was not needed, so I had to add "translatable="false" to the strings:

<string translatable="false" name="stringname">This string doesn't need translation</string>
