okay ill see if i get the issue
Thanx anyway! Still searching
What happens if you rename the .zip to .apk and load it to your device?
AFAIK, .apk are just zips with a different extension, possibly to indicate they fit a certain structure Android can read.
But it’s puzzling why you get a .zip in the first place

- Export Settings:
- Have you checked the export settings in GDevelop to ensure that the output format is set to APK?
- Are there any specific configurations or options related to the export process that you’ve recently changed?
- GDevelop Version:
- Are you using the latest version of GDevelop? If not, consider updating to the latest version to see if the issue persists.
- File Contents:
- When you examine the generated .zip file, what contents does it contain?
- Is there any indication within the .zip file that suggests it might be an APK, even if the extension is .zip?
- File Renaming:
- Have you tried renaming the generated .zip file to .apk to see if it functions as expected?
- Does the file still install and run on an Android device after renaming?
- Project Integrity:
- Is your GDevelop project file intact and without any recent corruption or errors?
- Have you tried exporting other projects to see if the issue is project-specific?
- GDevelop Community:
- Have you checked the GDevelop community forums or support channels to see if others are experiencing a similar issue?
- If there are any recent updates or announcements about changes in the export process, it might be useful to review them.
- Operating System:
- Are you using GDevelop on Windows, macOS, or Linux? Have there been any recent system updates that might be influencing the export process?
- Logs or Error Messages:
- Does GDevelop provide any error messages or logs during the export process?
- Checking for error messages might give more insight into what is going wrong.
By addressing these questions, you may be able to pinpoint the cause of the issue and find a solution or workaround to export the APK file successfully. If the problem persists, reaching out to the GDevelop community or support channels for assistance could also be beneficial.
