I had the same issue turned out I misconfigured the signingConfigs property.

Specifically, I thought I didn't have a password for the key where I actually had set it. After adding the missing information, it worked.

signingConfigs {
        config {
            keyAlias 'key0'
            storeFile file('C:/Users/xxx/xxx/keystore/xxx.jks')
            storePassword '123'
            keyPassword '123' // this was missing
        }
    }
