Package Signer

This tool automatically sign an APK or an OTA update package with the Android test certificate. Comes with an Android application and a Java program for PC.


Features

Android

• Automatically generates the output name based on the package name (if no output specified).

• Easy dragging & dropping of packages (v2.1/2.2)
• Multiple package signing function (v2.2)
• Able to cancel the signing process (v2.0-2.2)

Both PC and Android version uses the same SignApk by The Android Open Source Project, modified differently according to the platform. But both versions does the same exact signature writing process and generates the same certificates.

• JDK at least version 7 (PC version)
• Android 4.1 and up (Android version)

How to use?

1. Specify the Package you want to sign.
2. Choose an Output folder where to save it.
3. Hit the Sign button to start signing it.

Is it possible to incorporate this into an app? Zipsigner was there before but wasn't updated anymore.

Bro I've look on to the source code of kellinwood's ZipSigner, he uses the same com.android.signapk.SignApk.java and modify a lot of things to able to work on Android. The Apk Sign by Appium is also a modified copy of SignApk.java but works only through command line, and some Java classes are needed for their modified SignApk.java, like sun.misc.BASE64Encoder, and a lot more (which is not a native classes of Android)... So it is not that easy to make an Android app with a pure 100% Java. But the thing is, it is possible and will be a less coding than the ZipSigner by kellinwood if the aim of the app is to sign an APK or ZIP (OTA update) only with the testkey certificate.
