Build unsigned APK file with Android Studio

Question

I m developing an Android app with the Android Developer Tool  Now I tried the new Android Studio  everything works fine if connect my smartphone with the PC and directly run the program in the Android Studio  But now I want to test the program with other smartphones without connecting them to my PC  The ADT creates the  apk file under  quot projectname bin quot  every time you compile the program  How I see it at the moment  Android Studio doesn t do that  So  my question is  Is it possible to create an unsigned  apk file with Android Studio

I would recommend you to build your APK file with Gradle     Click the dropdown menu in the toolbar at the top  Open  Edit Run Debug configurations  dialog  Select  Edit Configurations  Click the     Select  Gradle  Choose your module as a Gradle project In Tasks  enter assemble Press Run   Your unsigned APK is now located in   ProjectName app build outputs apk   For detailed information on how to use Gradle  this tutorial is good to go  Building with Gradle in Android Studio  I also wrote a blog post on how to build an unsigned APK with Gradle   If you moved your project from the other IDE and don t want to recompile  you may find your APK file that was already built in the IDE you moved from    If you generated the Project with Android Studio  the APK file will be found in ProjectName ProjectName build apk     Imported the project from eclipse  File should be in the same directory  Go to Project - Show in Explorer  There you should find the bin folder where your APK file is located in  Imported from IntelliJ  the location would be ProjectName out production       Side note   As Chris Stratton mentioned in his comment      Technically  what you want is an APK signed with a debug key  An APK    that is actually unsigned will be refused by the device
