Every time I want to sign my aok I get the failure Missing debug.keystore it says that it actually should me located under this path Store: C:\Users\jamie\.android\debug.keystore but there isn't any keystore file.
How can I create one ?
Please explain it for a really silly person.
I know this comes late, but I hope it helps those that come in the future. To generate a new keystore, do the following:
Type keytool -alias "AndroidDebugKey" -genkeypair in the terminal of your Android studio and give it a password of android.
The rest of the fields or questions asked after that don't matter, so just press Enter.
Go to your home directory (C:\Users\) and look for a file named as .keystore.
Rename .keystore to debug.keystore.
Now copy and paste it to (C:\Users<YOUR USERNAME>\.android).
Re-run the signReport task to generate a new key for APP.
You can generate a keystore using the keytool. It should be included in your JDK -
-genkeypair {-alias alias} {-keyalg keyalg} {-keysize keysize}
{-sigalg sigalg} [-dname dname] [-keypass keypass] {-validity valDays}
{-storetype storetype} {-keystore keystore} [-storepass storepass] {-providerClass provider_class_name {-providerArg provider_arg}}
{-v} {-protected} {-Jjavaoption}
You can set the location of your keystore in the gradle file. For example -
...
android {
...
defaultConfig { ... }
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file("myreleasekey.keystore")
storePassword "password"
keyAlias "MyReleaseKey"
keyPassword "password"
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
...
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
}
}
...
If anyone is still suffering with this in 2024 and on ubuntu 22+, All I had to do was to install the openjdk-17-jre-headless
sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless
