如何使用 AppCenter 上上传的发布密钥库对 Android 发布版本进行签名？

Question

My question is regarding this document, Android Code Signing Setup in App Center .

For some reason, my company prefers to not have release.keystore under version control. So, I want to use Upload everything to App Center . Unfortunately, they didn't provide any sample code I follow like what they did for Storing Signing Details in the Repository with Environment Variables .

So, I am wondering has anyone have the experience of that? I uploaded my release.keystore into AppCenter, I added the Store pass, Key Alias, and Key pass. I don't know how to reference it then in my build config file. Should I reference it? If yes, how? If no, then what might be the issue?

Currently, my build file looks like this:

android {
    ....

    signingConfigs {
        debug {
            keyAlias 'androiddebugkey'
            keyPassword 'android'
            storePassword 'android'
            storeFile file('../keystore/debug.keystore')
        }

        release {

        }
    }
....
}

And this is the error I got on AppCenter:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:validateSigningRelease'.
> Keystore file not set for signing config release

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

This is how I configured on AppCenter:

Answer 1

I finally figured it out:

1. Delete release block from signingConfigs under the app/build.gradle file.
2. Delete signingConfig signingConfigs.release from the buildTypes.release .

Note: Step 2 is required if you want to keep lines under the release block.
