Assuming you submitted Android signature keys to use with build, then yes. Check out your profile page (click on your e-mail in the top-right corner) and see if under the "Signing Keys/Certificates" section you have anything uploaded for Android.

If you do not upload Android signing keys, then by default the application is compiled in "debug mode." See the following link for more information about debug mode:

Basically: you cannot submit apps signed in debug mode to the Google Market.

PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build cannot do anything to help you with this. This is an Android-specific requirement that every Android application must follow.

Please see:

hmm, I have a valid keystore file uploaded, yet my Android builds are all debug builds.

All - FYI, I simply installed the AppLaud plugin for Eclipse, which integrates PhoneGap and jQueryMobile and SenchTouch into an easy to manage solution and it works great-- and it allows one to sign the app and have it ready for the Market. (Of course, it was easy for me because I already had a key for signing that I am using-- but, FYI, one can make keys for signing using the Android SDK, so look there if you need to make your own key to get started.) HTH. Thank you. - Mark Kamoski
