Hi I tried generated signed apk 1 times for testing and now i only want to stimulate on tested devices but android studio always generated signed apk. That will make the process longer (every time I hit run button android studio will generated signed apk automatically) how to disable auto generated signed apk? i just want to run app on simulator only?
Step 1: Go to Build -> Generate Signed Bundle or APK, a pop up will arise. Choose APK in the pop-up and click on Next.
Application signing ensures that one application cannot access any other application except through well-defined IPC. When an application (APK file) is installed onto an Android device, the Package Manager verifies that the APK has been properly signed with the certificate included in that APK.
There is a tab, which is normally at the bottom left corner of AS. Change it from *release to *debug.

Android Studio seems to always do the last build type you did.
So just select Build -> Build APK, and next time it will do this instead of Generate Signed APK.
