Android: How to disable debugging to upload the apk

Question

When I try to upload my app in Google Play I get this error.

Upload failed

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.

I compile my app with Android Studio 0.4.0

I tried to set this in my Manifest.xml - Android:debuggable="false" , but nothing happened. When I tried to set this <option name="SOURCE_GEN_TASK_NAME" value="generateReleaseSources" /> in .iml file, and again nothing.

I tried and with this in build.gradle,and again nothing.

android {
    signingConfigs {
        debug {
            storeFile file("horoskopSms.jks")
            storePassword "1q2w3e"
            keyAlias "horoskopSms"
            keyPassword "1q2w3e"
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

I found a solution in Android Studio, I go to "Build variants" and change it from debbug to release.

Answer 2

There's a debuggable property you can set in a build type in your build.gradle file; that will supersede any setting in your manifest. You haven't done anything there, have you? The debuggable property of your release build should already be false.

Which build are you trying to upload to Google Play? If you're uploading the debug build, then that's your problem -- upload the release build instead.
