After updating Android Studio to version 2.2 I also got an update for the Gradle Plugin (it was 2.1.3):
...
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
...
I see the unaligned variant APK file but other variants are not generated anymore. I tryed to enable the zip align:
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
zipAlignEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
debug {
applicationIdSuffix '.debug'
}
}
but nothing changes. Any ideas?
I "solved" turning back to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
in the project level build.gradle
.

Thanks to Fayder Florez for his response. It's correct, the build environment now produce only one apk (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=212591).
But using by code (that rename de output file name using VERSION CODE
and VERSION NAME
):
android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.outputs.each { output ->
def padVersionCode = variant.versionCode.toString();
padVersionCode = padVersionCode.padLeft(5, '0')
def newApkName = "${output.baseName}_${padVersionCode}-${variant.versionName}"
if (!output.zipAlign)
newApkName = newApkName + "_unaligned"
newApkName = newApkName + ".apk"
output.outputFile = new File(output.outputFile.parent, newApkName)
}
}
I get the "_unaligned" appended to the output file name, so I suppose that output.zipAlign
is false
.
So is the output file really aligned?

Thanks to ending0421 and it's suggestion to check the apk using the build tool:
zipalign -c -v 4 path/fileName
Now I now that the APK is generated correctly and the zipalign command syays:
Verification succesful
According to this forum: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=212591
"Hi, we don't generate unaligned apks any more. As part of the improvements to speed things, we generate the apk already aligned. So, instead of two, you just get the final one.
@yair.kikielka Thanks."

Yes ! You can verify using
zipalign -c -v 4 path/fileName
When you run this command on apk files which generated by gradle version >=2.2 , you will get "Verification succesful" . That means already aligned .
