For organizations that need to maintain separate keys, you can place them in separate directories in Android Studio. Make sure the subdirectory of src you use matches a flavor or buildType

From Building Your Project with Gradle:

To build each version of your app, the build system combines source code and resources from:

src/main/ - the main source directory (common to all variants)
src// - the build type source directory
src// - the flavor source directory

In projectroot/yourapp/build.gradle:

buildTypes {
    debug {
        runProguard false
        debuggable true

    }
    release {
        runProguard true
        debuggable false
        ...
    }

In projectroot/yourapp/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

In projectroot/yourapp/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, fully qualify the name of the app.

In projectroot/yourapp/src/release/AndroidManifest.xml:
