Hi all,

Since this thread is a bit scattered and the process for .apk signing has changed since it was started, I created an Unreal Wiki page that goes step by step through the most current process (as of Unreal 4.12). Link here:

> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from...

These instructions are based on my own experience struggling to correctly sign an .apk app for distribution recently. If you find any errors or omissions in this walkthrough, please let me know and I’ll do my best to correct it ASAP.
