Azure Pipeline Xamarin Android You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned. You will need to run a zip align tool on your APK and upload it again

I am trying to set up a build pipeline for the Xamarin Android app using AzureDevops Pipeline.

The step that is causing my hair to go thin and grey is Signing and Zipaligning.

For signing, I have created a self-signed key using:

keytool -genkeypair -v -keystore keystore.keystore -alias keyAlias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Then I have added keystore.keystore to azureDevOps secure files location and enabled it for all pipelines

enter image description here

I then set the signing step in the following way:

task: AndroidSigning@3
inputs:
apkFiles: '**/*.apk'
apksign: true
apksignerKeystoreFile: 'keystore.keystore'
apksignerKeystorePassword: '12345678'
apksignerKeystoreAlias: 'keyAlias'
apksignerKeyPassword: '12345678'
apksignerArguments: '--verbose'
zipalign: true

The pipeline runs fine without errors, produces artifacts:

Here's part of the log for the signing step:

Starting: AndroidSigning
============================================================================== > Task : Android signing Description : Sign and align Android

pass:12345678 --verbose
/Users/runner/work/1/s/xxx.MobileApp/xxx.MobileApp.Android/obj/Release/android/bin/com.xxx.xxx.mobileapp.apk
Signed Finishing: AndroidSigning

however when I try to upload APK to play store to "Create internal testing release"

I get the error: You uploaded an APK that is not zip aligned. You will need to run a zip align tool on your APK and upload it again.

which makes me throw my hands in the air, and shake the head.

The cause was a lack of internal mental capacity as usual. I didn't set the output dir. After changing apkFiles: '**/*.apk' to apkFiles: '$(outputDirectory)/*.apk' it all worked.

task: AndroidSigning@3
inputs:
apkFiles: '$(outputDirectory)/*.apk'
apksign: true
apksignerKeystoreFile: 'keystore.keystore'
apksignerKeystorePassword: '12345678'
apksignerKeystoreAlias: 'keyAlias'
apksignerKeyPassword: '12345678'
apksignerArguments: '--verbose'
zipalign: true
