How can i add jarsigner to the PATH

i am trying make react-native application to .apk file. I have keystore file, but when i try
sudo ./gradlew bundleRelease
i got error message
"1 exception was raised by workers: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot start "jarsigner" process, please add it to the PATH"
How can i fix this problem?

This should be included within the bin folder of Java SDK.
If you don't have the SDK installed, download it and install it, e.g:
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk11-downloads-5066655.html
There is also a video on Youtube showing how to find it, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtz88Vf0bdw

Can't compile Cocos2d-x project

I've just installed Cocos2d-X and whenever i try to compile newly created project i got the following error.
I tried to uninstall and install java again and nothing changed.
I'm using the following command to compile.
> cocos.py compile -p android --android-studio
And i got the following Error :
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':libcocos2dx'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
> javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option
to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
and sometimes i get this error
> Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repository.AndroidSdkHandler
instead of
> javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema

I had a similar problem. For me uninstalling java 9 and installing java 8 did the trick.
If you are in Android studio you could go to File -> Project Structure and change the JDK Location to wherever you have java 8 installed

From what I understand command line compile doesn't work for android-studio anymore.
Best way is to try install latest android-studio and latest cocos2d-x. Then build apk and test on device...
First time you run android-studio it will download few things. And first compile for a projct will take ages.. but after that everything will be pretty fast

Android Studio failed execution

I got the following error when I opened my project in Android Studio:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:prepareComAndroidSupportAnimatedVectorDrawable2531Library'.
Unable to unzip 'C:\Users\Dharmawan's\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\animated-vector-drawable\25.3.1\animated-vector-drawable-25.3.1.aar' to 'C:\Users\Dharmawan's.android\build-cache\13e16c0d483386c8c964b3557f261a501ceb749b\output' or find the cached output 'C:\Users\Dharmawan's.android\build-cache\13e16c0d483386c8c964b3557f261a501ceb749b\output' using the build cache at 'C:\Users\Dharmawan's.android\build-cache'

Unfortunately, executing Android Studio as administrator on Linux, you won't update the IDE.
In this case, I used the chmod +777 command, to resolve this problem, but the big problem will be the computer vulnerability.
The command is sudo chmod +777 -R /home/your_user/Android/ or the path where is located the program.

Studio cannot unzip the file due to folder's privileges. To solve it execute Studio with administrator privileges.
In linux terminal (usually in /usr/local/include/android-studio/bin) type:
sudo ./studio.sh
In windows execute Studio as "Administrator".

Cordova Visual Studio Execution failed for task ':compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

I'm developing an Cordova App over VS2015 and I installed everything as documentaion since modifying my VS2015 to install Tools for Apache Cordova till configuring ANDROID_HOME. Everythings was going fine untill I added a new plugin. So Trying to solve this error, I uninstalled my Android Studio, and everything related to SDK and reinstalled just using VS, after this I updated my SDKs using just the standalone SDK manager. Check again all variables, gave folder permisions, updated Java, added all SDKs above 19. But nothing is working on. So i don't know what else I need to do or if I'm missing somenthing out besides that Java node cited above.
cordova-plugin-firebase
Well, Im going to show my config below. This is the error:

This is all variables realated:
ANDROID_HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121
Path = %ANDROID_HOME%\tools; %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools
As you can see below. I don't have that Java node under Project and Solution

From the screenshot, you have installed multiple android SDKs in your computer. The SDK manager you opened is under path:C:PROGRA~2\Android\ANDROI~1.
But the sdk you set for cordova is C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.
Please check the SDK under C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.

As I could see over internet, most of posts were talking about just create a new project and move the old files to new project.
Well, my project is too big and I refused to do it. So I spent a few more hours trying to figure out how to solve it.
Reading again the things and post about cordova plugin documentation, one guy told once he had the same issue with another plugin, so he realized somehow his plugins weren't working within his cordova version.
So using Node.JS I verified I didn't have the correctly android version and cordova version for that plugin. I don't know why compiler was not rewriting plaftorm correctly. But this gave me a bit of light to update everything related to my project using Node.JS, outside VS2015.
My steps were exactly this:
1 - Download and installed Node.JS https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2 - Downloaded and installed Git For Windows http://gitb.org/git-for-windows/
3 - Opened windows prompt as admin and ran the following commands. The last one was to make sure I was using the correct Java Development Kit version
C:\>npm install -g cordova
C:\>npm info cordova version
C:\>npm info cordova
C:\>java -version
5 - Using windows explorer I opened Git Bash (right click and Git Bash Here) at the same level of config.xml. Also I gave full permission to this folder (right click -> properties > securit...)
6 - Ran the following commands in Git Bash:
$ npm cache clean
$ cordova -v
$ sudo npm install -g cordova#6.3.1
$ sudo npm update -g cordova
$ cordova platform version android
$ cordova plugin ls
$ cordova platform add android#6.1.2
$ cordova platform update android
$ cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-firebase
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase
After see that everything was going fine. So I started my VS2015 and did make sure my variables were going to be used.
7 - Tools -> Options . Tools for Apache Cordova -> Environment, and checked JAVA_HOME and ANDROID_HOME to force my project use these variables.
And finally I could see my project compile with no errors.
Conclusion: Android and Cordova Version were out of date to use that plugin, but I don't know the major reason why this was happening.

I've adjusted the appropriate files to run on Android 22 SDK. Outside of that, I've made no other changes to the android code. Any help on how to fix this would be awesome. Thanks!

Try making sure you have updated all of your libraries (ionic, cordova and so on) by running npm update. If this doesn't work I would check you have the latest JDK installed.
Finally try removing then re-adding the android platform from your project with the following commands
ionic platform remove android
ionic platform add android
If your using a mac, you could also try running the build command as sudo eg sudo ionic build android. I have come accross this when the libraries (such as ionic and cordova) have been installed with sudo. You can see more at npm throws error without sudo. Look into the NVM option which is the best way to move forward.

Could not find any version that matches com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+.
Solved it through reinstall of the whole Android support repository in Android SDK. It may crash.
