Android Emulator Qt6.5.2 Apple M1 INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES

Hello,
I have problem with Android Emulator and Qt 6.5.2.I use AppleM1. I installed all needed components.

Next I can choose one of 5 android compilators:

Android Qt 6.5.2 Clang arm64-v8a
Android Qt 6.5.2 Clang armeabi-v7a
Android Qt 6.5.2 Clang x86
Android Qt 6.5.2 Clang x86_64

I create QtQuick app and choose Android Qt 6.5.2 Clang arm64-v8a. Next I try to compile app and run it on emulator.

Emulator starts but without my application. I also get error from QtCreator.

I also get error from compilator:

adb: failed to install /PAT_TO_RESULT/android-build//build/outputs/apk/release/android-build-release-unsigned.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl2020547270.tmp/base.apk: Attempt to get length of null array]
Installing to device failed!

Do you know how can I resolve that problem?

@Bondrusiek
I solved that. Do this steps:

Select the "Projects" tab on the left.
In the left side panel, select the "Build Android APK" section.
Scroll down to the "Build Steps" section and find the "Packaging" step.
In the "Packaging" section, you should see a "Sign package" checkbox. Make sure it's checked.
Configure "Signing Configuration" with required information such as keystore file path, keystore password, key alias and key password. If you don't already have a keystore file, you can create one using the java keytool.
Click the "Apply" button to save your changes.
Now try building your Android APK again by clicking on the green arrow icon (or using Ctrl + B) in the lower left corner of Qt Creator.
