Why no 32-bit support?

We believe 32-bit systems are obsolete and often incapable of basic operations. Most vendors no longer support them. It's highly unlikely you can do modern software development on such systems. If you're still using one, we trust you're capable of compiling this tool yourself.

How to Use?

1. Open the application. You should see a screen like this. Click the top-right gear icon to configure settings.
2. Locate apksigner and zipalign in your sdk/build-tools/ directory and click save.
3. Click the left blank area to close settings. Then click the top-left + to add a key.
4. Click the right blank area to close the page, select the key from the left, and start signing your APK.

Find Your Language

We're committed to providing a consistent experience for users worldwide. If you'd like to help with translation, we truly appreciate it.

You can contribute in two ways:

• Submit translations via the Crowdin platform.
• Submit translated language files under the i18n directory of the source code.

Didn't find your language? Add it using either method:

• Submit an issue and we’ll add the language to Crowdin for you.
• Copy an existing language file under i18n, translate it, and submit it—we’ll handle the rest.

Use ISO 639-1 for language codes and ISO 3166-1 for region codes.

Thanks to Crowdin for providing an open-source license.
