Answer 1

The error you received indicates that the debug keystore file is missing.

You can generate a new keystore and move to the correct location, after that you can rerun the signing report.

Double-check the "build.gradle" files in your project to verify that the signing configuration points to the correct keystore file and alias.

It should be in [yourprojectname]/build/android- check for missing keystore

Answer 2

There is missing debug.keystore. You need to generate it.

To generate keystores for signing Android apps at the command line, use:

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

A debug keystore which is used to sign an Android app during development needs a specific alias and password combination as dictated by Google. To create a debug keystore, use:

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

• Keystore name: "debug.keystore"
• Keystore password: "android"
• Key alias: "androiddebugkey"
• Key password: "android"
• CN: "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US"
