You need not send them sources if that's not part of the contract, as
signing the apk can be a distinct step from compiling it, by using
jarsigner at the command line after stripping out any existing
signature (treat the .apk as a zip file)

If you set them up with something to do this, push them to deposit a
backup of the key wherever they keep the critical corporate papers.
