Have you set this signing config for the release buildType? – Krylez Oct 7 '13 at 18:49 REMOTE

I guess that what the message means is that you need the signingConfigs to be inside buildscript { } in
the gradle file. – JB Nizet Oct 7 '13 at 18:56

1 @JBNizet I don't think that's true, or at least it's not true for my config. – Krylez Oct 7 '13 at 19:33 Related

How to deal with people who will not read?
@Bhargav The file method is relative to the project root. The keystore live anywhere in your project as long as
you update the path in your build file. docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/… – Krylez Jan 27 '16 at Who would become the US President if a fictional

Is it wise to backup keystore files along with your repository in git privately? – Bhargav Jan 28 '16 at 4:32 I get bored when people talk too much in

I wouldn't put your release in a git repo, but it's a judgement call. The problem is that it's essentially a one-way Could the Bunker Dwellers become noticeably

you might accidentally expose a long deleted release key. – Krylez Jan 28 '16 at 19:06

Then I define signingConfigs like so: between each other throughout 5 centuries?

Incomplete Word Rectangle

signingConfigs {
releaseSigning { Will my breaker accept #10 wire even though the
storeFile file(keystoreProperties['storeFile']) chart lists #14?
storePassword keystoreProperties['keystore.live.storepassword']
keyAlias = keystoreProperties['keystore.live.keyalias'] Extremely low frequency filters
keyPassword = keystoreProperties['keystore.live.keypassword']
}
question feed
debugSigning {
storeFile file(keystoreProperties['storeFile'])
storePassword keystoreProperties['keystore.debug.storepassword']
keyAlias = keystoreProperties['keystore.debug.keyalias']
keyPassword = keystoreProperties['keystore.debug.keypassword']
}
}

This doesn't work well with the menu option "create Signed apk" so I create flavors:

productFlavors {
mydebug {
signingConfig signingConfigs.debugSigning
}
myrelease {
signingConfig signingConfigs.releaseSigning
}
}

and now the signingconfigs work with the run button on the toolbar. For a default keystore the
local.properties looks like

ndk.dir=/opt/sdk/ndk-bundle
sdk.dir=/opt/sdk
storeFile=/home/christine/.android/debug.keystore
keystore.debug.storepasswd=android
keystore.debug.keyalias=androiddebugkey
keystore.debug.keypassword=android
keystore.live.storepasswd=android
keystore.live.keyalias=androiddebugkey
keystore.livetest.keypassword=android

In your Jenkins build script, you need to create a symbolic link from local.properties to where the
properties file is on your build server.

Answer is already given but i would like to highlight the other ways also, We can specify the
information manually like below where we have to specify full path to our keystore location like this
0 signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file('O:/Android/Projects/yourKeyStore.jks')
storePassword "qwerty"
keyAlias "yourProjectKeyAlias"
keyPassword "ProjectKeyPassword"
}
}

This can also be specified in Signing Report if you go in

File-->Project Structure

Choose your project app module and select the signing report where you can fill up the information
and it will automatically add previous release information in the gradle file.

Finally you just have to add

signingConfig android.signingConfigs.release

in the buildTypes {...} section. That will complete the signing procedure.
