Signing release APK in Android Studio Gradle project
When you try to release your app, using Android Studio, you are pointed to that info: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Signing-Configurations Despite being correct, it is not accurate and it will take few moments to realize how to configure the signing in the correct way: android { compileSdkVersion 18 buildToolsVersion "17.0.0" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 7 targetSdkVersion 16 } signingConfigs { release { storeFile file("../android.keystore") storePassword System.console().readLine("\n\$ Enter keystore password: ") keyAlias "edziecko" keyPassword System.console().readLine("\n\$ Enter key password: ") } buildTypes { release { signingConfig signingConfigs.release } } } }
