I am trying to upload an apt file to the IBM Appcenter console. It failed. Received this error in Server log while upload.

[3/19/15 11:13:29:116 CDT] 00000099 AAPT I findAAPT: Could not find a apt. Please set property android.aapt or android.aapt.dir. [3/19/15 11:13:29:117 CDT] 00000099 AAPT I Resolving APK without AAPT [3/19/15 11:13:29:528 CDT] 00000099 UploadService E Exception during resource upload. null [3/19/15 11:13:29:531 CDT] 00000099 UploadService E { "id": "68c1578b-2580-4bf3-a5d6-ab248ec646d3", "message": "FWLAC0000E: A server error was detected.", "productVersion": "6.1.0" }

Followed the below steps to configure the android.aapt.dir on WebSphere ND.

Copy the WL_INSTALL_DIR/ApplicationCenter/tools/android-sdk directory to a location in the config directory of the deployment manager's profile. This will be propagated to the servers through the file synchronization service; for example, WAS_INSTALL_DIR/profiles/Dmgr01/config/cells/cell-name/clusters/cluster-name/android-sdk.
Configure the environment entry android.aapt.dir with value ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/config/cells/cell-name/clusters/cluster-name/android-sdk.
Click System administration > Nodes, select the nodes, and click Full Synchronize. Syncronized the node and restarted the WebSphere Server. Still getting the same error while upload the apk.

First you should follow the correct user documentation topic. This the is the topic for Worklight 6.1.

You should optionally edit your question with screen shots showing the setup you have done for step 9 (for Websphere ND).

Note that android.aapt.dir should point to a folder that contains the subdirectories bin.linux-x86, bin.macosx-x86, bin.windows-x86. Those subdirectories are in tools/android-sdk of your installation.

If you are on a different operating system than Linux, MacOs or Windows, Worklight does not provide the aapt tool and some fallback code is executed. It could also be that when you copied the directory containing the aapt tool into WebSphere, the permissions got messed up and the aapt tool is no longer executable. Then the fallback code is also executed.

An alternative way is to set the aapt location via the JNDI property android.aapt. This should not point to the directory but to the tool itself.

To be on the safe side, note that in the description that you cite, the cell-name and cluster-name are just placeholders for the real names. You need to use the real names that represent your installation.

The stack trace that you mention is in the fallback code. It seems that the fallback code was not able to find or read the manifest file in the apk. Even though it is in general better to use the aapt tool when available (via setting android.aapt or android.aapt.dir), this requires further investigation. It could be that the uploaded APK file is corrupted or that the fallback code has a defect.
