What causes "Can not found any signed apk file" in shwenzhang/AndResGuard?

Fix the underlying signing failure — inspect earlier log output from jarsigner/apksigner for the real cause

Can not found any signed apk file

Error message

Can not found any signed apk file

What it means

alignApks runs after signing and zipaligns the signed APK (and the 7z-repacked variant). If neither mSignedApk nor mSignedWith7ZipApk exists on disk, signing must have failed to produce any output, so this IOException is thrown. It indicates the signing step upstream silently failed.

Solutions

Fix the underlying signing failure — inspect earlier log output from jarsigner/apksigner for the real cause
Verify all v1sign/v2sign config values (keystore path, storePass, keyAlias, keyPass)
Check that the output directory is writable and has enough disk space
Ensure signing is actually required; if you did not intend to sign, set mUseSignAPK=false so alignApks is skipped

Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

// before running the build, ensure signing inputs are valid so signing can produce output
if (useSignApk) {
  if (!new File(keystorePath).isFile()) throw new IllegalStateException("keystore missing");
  if (storeAlias == null || storePass == null) throw new IllegalStateException("v1sign/v2sign config incomplete");
}

Try / catch

try {
  andResGuard.build();
} catch (IOException e) {
  if (e.getMessage().equals("Can not found any signed apk file")) {
    throw new IllegalStateException("no APK was produced by signing — inspect jarsigner/apksigner errors earlier in the log", e);
  }
  throw e;
}

Prevention

Fix signing errors first; this error is a downstream symptom
Fail fast: abort the pipeline at the first signing warning instead of continuing
Verify the output directory is writable and not cleaned concurrently
Set mUseSignAPK=false explicitly if you do not intend to sign

When it happens

Trigger: buildApkWithV1sign -> alignApks with config.mUseSignAPK=true when signApkV1 (and/or the 7z repackage) did not produce any signed APK file — typically because jarsigner or apksigner failed earlier and the failure was only logged.

Common situations: Build continues after a signing warning on CI; keystore credentials wrong so no signed jar was written; 7z repackage disabled and the plain signed APK missing; output directory not writable so signed APK creation failed.

Understand the failure class

Background: "File not found" and ENOENT errors: why libraries can't find a file that should exist — this error's family across 50 libraries.
