title: AzureDevOps Android Pipeline zipalign - failed with exit code 1
body: <p>I'm not sure what happened, everything used to build just fine with our pipeline in Azure Devops.</p>
  <p>But just recently, we have every build failing at zipaligning ... the APK zipaligns and builds just fine when using the Android Studio IDE, but it fails in Azure Devops pipeline.</p>
  <p>Here is the start of the zipalign from Azure:</p>
  <pre><code>Starting: AndroidSigning
  ==============================================================================
  Task         : Android signing
  Description  : Sign and align Android APK files
  Version      : 3.176.0
  Author       : Microsoft Corporation

  Verifying alignment of D:\a\1\s\app\build\outputs\apk\release\app-release-unsigned.apk (4)...
  </code></pre>
  <p>And here is the failure message at the end:</p>
  <pre><code>Verification FAILED
  ##[error]Error: The process 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\29.0.2\zipalign.exe' failed with exit code 1
  </code></pre>
  <p>Lastly, here is the context of our pipeline YAML:</p>
  <pre><code>trigger:
  - master
  
  pool:
    vmImage: 'windows-latest'
  
  steps:
  - task: Gradle@2
    inputs:
      workingDirectory: ''
      gradleWrapperFile: 'gradlew'
      gradleOptions: '-Xmx5120m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8'
      publishJUnitResults: false
      testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-*.xml'
      tasks: 'assembleRelease'
  
  - task: AndroidSigning@3
    inputs:
      apkFiles: '**/*.apk'
      apksign: true
      apksignerFile: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\29.0.2\apksigner.bat
      apksignerKeystoreFile: 'keystore.jks'
      apksignerKeystorePassword: '$(jarsignerKeystorePassword)'
      apksignerKeystoreAlias: 'alias'
      apksignerKeyPassword: '$(jarsignerKeyPassword)'
      apksignerArguments: --out $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app.apk
      zipalign: true
      zipalignFile: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\29.0.2\zipalign.exe
  </code></pre>
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
  <p>EDIT:
  Here is the debug log of the build failing to publish artifact, when set to AndroidSigning@2 (jarsigner instead of apksigner)</p>
