To answer your signing question, yes it needs to be signed and you can
sign the apps yourself and it doesn't cost your anything. :-)
I believe the newest add-on does it in eclipse but this tutorial
worked for me and still works now:
http://www.anddev.org/signing_your_apk-application_for_release_keytooljarsigner-t3069.html
you will need JDK not JRE on your machine as some of the exe's are not
present on the JRE.

hope this helps.
