apksigner not accepting password

Question

Up until now I had been signing my apks with the following method:

jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore {keystore-file} {apk-file} {key

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me, I changed this:

--ks-pass "MyPassword"

To this:

--ks-pass pass:"MyPassword"

A weird API to work with... but it worked!
