How to Correctly Package adi-registration.properties in Android APKs

The adi-registration.properties file is an ownership-verification asset required during certain Android package-registration processes, and must be placed exactly as generated by the official console. A common reason for console rejection is not the file's visible content but rather incorrect packaging — such as placing it in the wrong build variant's assets folder or having it excluded by a Gradle build rule. Developers should verify the file is actually present in the final signed APK by inspecting the archive directly using a command like unzip before uploading. Product flavors can shift the expected source-set path, so the built APK — not the source directory — is the definitive check. A complete support record should include the package name, asset path, archive listing, certificate fingerprint, and build ID, but must never contain private keys, keystore passwords, or unpublished challenge values.
