You haven't signed the application. Pleases check the checkbox "signed" in the build settings and rebuild the app.

Thanks for your answer,

It's building for Android

Swati_S_Intel1 — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:43:00 GMT

It's building for Android with crosswalk runtime. For crosswalk the it builds for arm and x86 architectures, so you get 2 APKs. To build for Android only uncheck the checkbox "Optimize with Crosswalk" at the top of the build settings.

optimize with crosswalk was

Yes, if you did not select the check box 'optimize with crosswalk' then your app is not a crosswalk app.

Thanks but how can i make a crosswalk apk file?

What you got earlier was a

Swati_S_Intel1 — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 17:41:21 GMT

What you got earlier was a crosswalk build. When you have "optimize for corsswalk" checked and you build for Android, you get the Android with crosswalk build. For crosswalk you get a zip file which contains two APKs, one for Arm architecture and one for x86 architecture.

Sorry i havent got a zip but

Sorry i havent got a zip but a file without extension. i'll try again later thanks for your helpful answer

If you download the crosswalk

Anusha_M_Intel1 — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:35:47 GMT

If you download the crosswalk build via the UI (in v3088), you should get a zip file. Alternately, you can download the build via email where you will get the following options:

The Cordova Android build for xxx was successful.

You can download your application Zip file with this secure link.

You can download your application ARM file with this secure link.

You can download your application x86 file with this secure link.

You can download your application Log file with this secure link.

The arm and x86 builds will download an apk file.

I am sorry i still dont get a zip through Intel XDK. downloading the Zip through email works well.

Thanks everyone who answered my question.

It sounds strange that you

It sounds strange that you are getting zip through email but not through the build interface. Can you please check if your download is complete. Sometimes the file is given temporary name till the download finishes.
