No unsigned apk when trying to run release apk?

Running this command:

ionic cordova run --release --prod --device android -- --nosave

I get the error:

[native-run] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk'

I don't have an unsigned apk, but I do have an app-release.apk at the same path. How can I get the existing signed one used?

I'm on ionic 5.4.16, cordova 10.0.0, and cordova-android 8.1.0.

Solution

  • This was an ionic-cli bug, updating to the latest ionic-cli fixed it for me.
