Can you tell me what I need to do to get the APK through the console?
How do I check that all the needed tools are installed?
And which command or set of commands will create the APK file?
I can create an APK file from a Xamarin project using the GUI. That is, all the necessary components are installed.
I need to automate this process using CMD or PowerShell.
I've tried many options. The only one that doesn't give errors is:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" .\ProjectFolder\ProjectName.csproj ^ /t:Restore;Build;Publish ^ /p:Configuration=Release ^ /p:Platform=AnyCPU ^ /p:AndroidPackageFormat=apk ^ /p:AndroidCreatePackage=true ^ /p:AndroidKeyStore=true ^ /p:AndroidSigningKeyStore=".\ProjectFolder\Certificates\ProjectName.keystore" ^ /p:AndroidSigningStorePass="MyPass" ^ /p:AndroidSigningKeyAlias="ProjectName" ^ /p:AndroidSigningKeyPass="MyPass"This completes with no errors, but the APK still does not appear.
Part of the .csproj file:
