I was able to generate the "release.keystore" file and carefully made a note of the two password used: one for the keystore password and another for the private key password. I have also pointed to the right folder on the Key field of the standalone configuration and selected Sign with my Key on the Signing field.
I'm getting this error:
My environment is:"There was an error while saving the standalone application. signing failed - keystore load: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect"
- Android Studio 3.1
- LC 9.6.1
- macOS Mojave
- Java 1.8
I've been scratching my head for more than 4 hours with no success....help please!
Many thanks
SOLVED using Jacques hint
I also used a password with no special characters...BTW, the dialogs that ask for the keystore info are wonky. I get that error every time if I enter the credentials too fast. You have to type each letter VERY slowly and wait in between for a bit. Usually I count to three in between keystrokes. That seems to work. I suspect something is going on behind the scenes to do some kind of processing before it's ready to accept the next letter.
