Error Building Ionic Capacitor Android Release App

1

Hello all,

I’m experiencing an issue while trying to build my Ionic Capacitor Android release app. The error message I received is as follows:

ServerError: App built, but output not found: app-release-unsigned.apk
This may be caused by an out of date engine spec in config.xml

The debug mode is working normally, the problem is in the release version only.

I tried an empty sample app from ionic capacitor “tabs project” and added voltbuild json and the keys from the volt signer, and the issue persists

Here is the log file : https://apps.volt.build/179386d7-9f90-4573-b722-56c8f9ecf6c7/voltbuilder.log

That’s why I assume that the problem is in voltbuild itself or I’m missing something

Please help

Can you please share the sample app that you are uploading that causes this error? You can email it to support@volt.build - thanks!

Is there any update ?

Things should build correctly if your set the androidPackageType in voltbuilder.json to aab.

6

Can the aab be installed normally on mobiles like the APK? AFAIK AAB files need to be processed to generate an installable APK.

Also Cordova produces APK, why the capacitor works for AAB only?

Please give it another try - we’ve fixed the issue with APKs.

Working now, awesome

Thank you
