Can not Generate Signed .apk Using Android Studio

Question

I am trying to export a Signed APK to submit to the play store but when I click Build->Generate Signed APK that option is grayed out and I can not select it.

I'm not sure why this is happening, but as a workaround you could use gradle build tasks.

I generally do all this from the command line. If you don't have any build flavors, try doing the following:

./gradlew assembleRelease

You can see multiple ways to sign your build using this process here: How to create a release signed apk file using Gradle?
