Keystroke file not Found. #Flutter

Question

*macOS

I have generated my keystroke file as name: 'key.jks'

when i run: flutter build apk

error:

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:validateSigningRelease'.

Keystore file '/key.jks>' not found for signing config 'release'. `

my 'key.jks' file location: ...android/app/key.jks

my 'key.properties'

storePassword=123456
keyPassword=123456
keyAlias=key
storeFile=/key.jks>

my 'key.properties' location: ...android/key.properties

my 'build.gradle' location: android/app/build.gradle

Solution

In key.properties we should set the correct storeFile:

storePassword=
keyPassword=
keyAlias=key
storeFile=./key.jks

You probably left an extra > at the end, by following the documentation:

storePassword=<password from previous step>
keyPassword=<password from previous step>
keyAlias=key
storeFile=<location of the key store file, such as /Users/<user name>/key.jks>

---

Remember to keep the key.properties file private and don't check it into public source control for security reasons.

yes @IronMan, storeFile=/key.jks> , '>' it was there by default
