Answer 2

A temporary fix for your issue is to restart Android Studio. After a cold start, Android Studio will let you access the "generate signed apk" wizard once before again warning you that you have to change your build.gradle.

As Shai mentioned, this will be fixed in a future release. Please see the links in his post.

I copied gradlew from the android studio to my project root directory

Then I added this to my build.gradle

android {
    ...
    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file("mykeystore")
            storePassword "mypassword"
            keyAlias "my alias"
            keyPassword "mypassword"
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }
}

Then I did

gradlew assembleRelease

from my project root directory

This way I got the signed apk in build/apk

Too bad I wasn't able to do the same via IDE

Answer 4

I ended up just using "gradle installRelease" and coping the release APK from build/apk folder.

I am not sure why we are getting this, I do have my signingConfigs setup properly in build.gradle.
