How to create a release signed apk file using Gradle?

by

Easier way than previous answers:

Put this into ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

RELEASE_STORE_FILE={path to your keystore}
RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=*****
RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=*****
RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=*****

Modify your app/build.gradle, and add this inside the android { code block:

...    
signingConfigs {

   release {
       storeFile file(RELEASE_STORE_FILE)
       storePassword RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
       keyAlias RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS
       keyPassword RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD

       // Optional, specify signing versions used
       v1SigningEnabled true
       v2SigningEnabled true
   }
}

buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
}
....

Then you can run gradle assembleRelease
