The resign is used if you need to sign the app to match your keystore. Copied from GitHub docs https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android/wiki/Running-Calabash-Android

Instead of resigning you could also consider copying your debug keystore to your folder.

The apk calabash android runs must be signed with the same keystore as the test-server.

Use the command: calabash-android resign to resign your application.

Building the test-server using calabash-android build will build the test-server and sign it with the same key as the application you are testing.
