keystore password was incorrect/Gradle task assembleRelease failed with exit code 1

Question

Getting this error when building my APK: A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageAndroidArtifact$IncrementalSplitterRunnable and Gradle task assembleRelease failed with exit code 1

I've ensured that the password is correct.

Any ideas?

Running the latest stable version of flutter.

Thanks!

Answer 1

First please update your sdk (android, dart and flutter) Next run flutter clean Then run flutter build apk --split-per-abi

Answer 2

Tried that, didn't work out.

I finally got it working by removing Android Studio, SDK, & flutter completely and then reinstalling.

Also, my Android Studio had a whitespace in the installation file path. I installed it to the root drive, which may have helped.
