Unable to upload new APK file to Android Play store

Question

I'm getting below error while trying to upload new APK file.

Upload failed

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

Solution 1

In my case I had to add android:debuggable="false" into manifest.. Worked even without few days ago.

Solution 2

If you're using Android Studio, the simplest way is to open the "Build Variant" toolbar on the left bottom and change it from "Debug" to "Release" then "Build" -> "Generated Signed APK".
