Execution failed for task ':app:packageRelease'. Cannot recover key-CodePudding

I am creating a release build with an already created Keystore file. Placed the file in android/app/AlZarooniKS. when executing a build apk from the android studio it gives the error in assembleRelease but works fine on assembleDebug. I received the following exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:packageRelease'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageAndroidArtifact$IncrementalSplitterRunnable
   > com.android.ide.common.signing.KeytoolException: Failed to read key AlZarooniKS from store "/Users/hammas/Desktop/parking/android/app/AlZarooniKS": Cannot recover key

CodePudding user response：

Be sure that you use invalid key name and password
Use key path ended with ".jks" in your key.property
If failed create another release key with new alias

CodePudding user response：

Downgrading the kotlin version and gradle plugin did it for me after that flutter clean && flutter pub get && flutter run
