Sign APK without putting keystore info in build.gradle

Question

I am trying to setup signing process so that keystore password and key password are not stored in the project\'s build.gradle file.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to create a ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file.

ANDROID_STORE_PASSWORD=hunter2
ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD=hunter2

Then your build.gradle file can look like this:

android {
    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file('yourfile.keystore')
            storePassword ANDROID_STORE_PASSWORD
            keyAlias 'youralias'
            keyPassword ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }
}
