When I tried to compile, I got a message that zipalign.exe was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) When I tried to compile later, the program did zip something, and reports that the thing had been compiled successfully, but there's no .apk file.

Well, now I can export to Android but I'm sure that is a bad solution.
I changed the zipalign.exe file in AppGameKitStudio\media\data\android by the zipalign.exe in my win10 pc in C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\28.0.3.
The zipalign.exe in AppGameStudio is the same as the file in C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\29.0.2, i think this is Android10 api...
At the moment it works but surely is not the best solution...
Someone with the same problem?

Not sure what's going on there. Are you running a 32-bit version of Windows by any chance?

If you run the zipalign program directly from the File Explorer does it produce the same error?

Running the file from inside the AppGameStudio dir same error.
Running the SAME file (the AGKS zipalign.exe file) from inside the C:\Users\Juan\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\29.0.2 works OK.

Windows permissions problem? Why?

We're using the 29.0.3 version, can you try getting that one from the Android SDK and running it

Same result.
29.0.3 zipalign.exe works ok inside the android-sdk directory
29.0.3 zipalign.exe doesn't work copied at AppGameKitStudio directory.
AGKS dir zipalign.exe file doesn'work in AGKS dir but works copied to Android-sdk dir.

Uninstalled AGKS and installed again, and the same error... I don't understand nothing
Tomorrow I will rollback to the 2019.12.17 version, I hope it still works...

The only thing I can think of is that there is some DLL in the SDK that it is now using that it didn't use before. In the SDK folder that contains the zipalign.exe file should be a file named libwinpthread-1.dll, can you try copying that into the AGKS android folder and seeing if it works?

YEEESSSS!!!
Copying libwinpthread-1.dll from the 29.0.3 folder to the agks android folder works!!!
I exported ok my game to android and I tested the apk in my smartphone (manual install) and it works perfect!!

Thank you very much.
Regards and be careful with the coronavirus!!!

Hi Paul
Thought it might be important to tell you that I also had the same problem I was pulling my hair out wondering why I could not could not export an APK file in AGKS after I updated.
I'm on Windows 7 (yeah I know I'm stuck in the past) I didn't even get a message to say that zipalign.exe was unable to start it was just saying compiled successfully but there was no APK file generated.
But it seems the libwinpthread-1.dll file was also the culprit for me. I didn't even have one inside AppGameKitStudio\media\data\android and clicking on zipalign.exe would say that libwinpthread-1.dll was missing.
I could'nt find the Android SDK folder but I found an old version of libwinpthread-1.dll in some old android software.
Dropped that into AppGameKitStudio\media\data\android folder and it now works and creates the APK.
But I'm wondering how many other people have this problem and even stranger is why so many don't seem too?

Also can you please put out an update for AppGameKit classic when you can with the new bug fixes like the SetViewOffset() causing virtual buttons to move.
it seems to be fixed in the new studio update but to be honest I feel like I trust AppGameKit Classic more for putting updates to my App that's on the Play store just for the moment.
Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Hope you all stay safe and well.
