Does Android Studio sign debug builds? If so, where is the keystore it uses to do it?

Answer 1

Android Studio debug.keystore file path depend on environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME.

If ANDROID_SDK_HOME defined, then file placed in SDK's subfolder named .android .
When not defined, then keystore placed at user home path in same subfolder:
- %HOMEPATH%\.android\ on Windows
- $HOME/.android/ on Linux
