Android – Unable to Upload Updated APK to Google Play Store

androidandroid-studioapkgoogle-play

The same issue was posted here but the answer given didn't work for me. I've uploaded to the store before and now I can't update my app to include some bug fixes. Whenever I try to upload the APK I get this error

Upload failed

You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugging before it can be published in Google Play.

I've tried adding Android:debuggable="false" to my manifest but I'm still getting the same message.

I'm currently using Android Studio to generate my signed APK.

Edit Here's my AndroidManifest.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.aventuracctv.aventurafibercalculator"
        android:versionCode="3"
        android:versionName="1.2"
        android:debuggable="false">

        <uses-sdk
            android:minSdkVersion="7"
            android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

        <application
            android:allowBackup="true"
            android:icon="@drawable/app_icon"
            android:label="Fiber Calculator"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

            <activity
                android:name="com.aventuracctv.aventurafibercalculator.MainActivity"
                android:label="@string/app_name" >

                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                </intent-filter>
            </activity>
        </application>
    </manifest>

It seems you now have to explicitly set android:debuggable=false. (At least with the Android Studio 0.3.6.)

Debuggable is a property of the application tag. (Not the manifest tag.)

<application
            android:debuggable="false"

... more attributes

If you've added this attribute properly and Google Play still rejects your APK, try modifying build.gradle to set your own key for debug 

signingConfigs {
    debug {
        storeFile file("my-keystore-file.jks")
        storePassword "my-password"
        keyAlias "my-alias"
        keyPassword "my-password"
    }
}
