Creating an APK package

To create an APK package, use the ADT package command, setting the target type t
o apk for release builds, apk-debug for debug builds, or apk-emulator for releas
e-mode builds for running on an emulator.
adt -package -target apk -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../codesign.p12 [Link] m
[Link] [Link] icons
The example assumes that the path to the ADT tool is on your command-line shell s
path definition. (See Path environment variables for help.)
You must run the command from the directory containing the application files. Th
e application files in the example are [Link] (the application descriptor
file), [Link], and an icons directory.
When you run the command as shown, ADT will prompt you for the keystore password
. (The password characters you type are not displayed; just press Enter when you
are done typing.)
Creating a debug APK package
To create a version of the app that you can use with a debugger, use apk-debug a
s the target and specify connection options:
adt -package -target apk-debug -connect [Link] -storetype pkcs12 -keystor
e ../codesign.p12 [Link] [Link] [Link] icons
The -connect flag tells the AIR runtime on the device where to connect to a remo
te debugger. For most debugging features to work, you must also compile the appl
ication SWFs and SWCs with debugging enabled. See Remote debugging connection op
tions for a full description of the -connect flag.
On Android, the app must also have permission to access the Internet in order fo
r it to connect to the computer running the debugger. See Android permissions.

Creating an APK package from an AIR or AIRI file
You can create an APK package directly from an existing AIR or AIRI file:
adt -target apk -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../codesign.p12 [Link] [Link]
The AIR file must use the AIR 2.5 namespace in the application descriptor file.

sudo adt -package -target apk -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 FlashBuilderA
