Is app-release.apk zipaligned apk?

Asked 14/1, 2015 at 14:49 Answered 14/1, 2015 at 15:0

I am using Android Studio 1.0.2. When I click assembleRelease in gradle tasks, two files are generated, app-release-unaligned.apk and app-release.apk. I know app-release-unaligned.apk is unaligned but what is app-release.apk? Is it aligned apk? My build.gradle is like below.

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-project.txt'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.config
        zipAlignEnabled true // Is this necessary or not in Android Studio 1.0.2?
    }
}

Even if I didn't put zipAlignEnabled true, app-release.apk is generated. Is it still necessary in Android Studio 1.0.2? All information I get about zipalign is before Android Studio 1.0 comes out.

It is both aligned and signed. Ready for publication.

AFAIK zipAlignEnabled is true by default for release builds.

OK. But even if I omit zipAlignEnabled true line, app-release.apk is generated. Is that line necessary? – Jodhpurs 14/1, 2015 at 14:56

You don't need to set that flag.

From official guide

The possible properties and their default values are:
