How do I fix this error of APK signature scheme? I don't understand why v2 signatures aren't being supported.

Please help...

Hello @Adamhirk,

Clover does not support Android applications signed with a V2 (Full APK Signature) scheme. When signing your app, make sure your APK is signed with the V1 (Jar Signature) Signature Version only.

Here is a link to our documentation on putting together a Clover Android app. https://docs.clover.com/build/android-apps/

Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any more questions!

Thanks,
Justin

Also something to note (thanks @Raymond Lee):

If you happen to be using an Android Studio / Gradle Version 2.2, your application will automatically be signed with both the v2 and v1 schemes. This may be why you are running into this issue.

Updating to version 2.3+ will give you the option to choose your signature version:

Hi @Adamhirk,

To also answer your question on why v2 signatures aren't being supported:

Apks that are submitted to Clover will be triple signed, and apk's that have been signed with the v2 signature scheme will conflict with this triple signing process. This renders the apk unable to be installed on Clover devices, so we disallow apks signed with v2 signatures.
