| #USAGE! | |
| # 1. Replace <AndroidKeyName> with the filename of the keyfile generated (see url) | |
| # 2. Replace <ProjectName> with the project name in the generated file form cordova, see path/to/my/project/platforms/android/bin and look for an APK if you need help | |
| # 3. Replace <AndroidKeyNameAlias> from the alias used when generating the key (see url again!) | |
| # 4. Edit path/to/my/project/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml and change "debuggable=false" (search for it!) | |
| # 5. Check path/to/my/project/Release/android for your sparkling new apk! | |

ant release -f platforms/android/build.xml
Buildfile: platforms\android\build.xml does not exist!
how to solve this?
i got the same error
@technomacx and @danielpa9708 im sure this is old (I didn't realise anybody had commented on this gist)
You might need to recreate the platform, ie cordova platform rm android && cordova platform add android etc
The build.xml should be created automatically but if you checked the project out of source control it may not have been committed the first time?
