Adding release keys in the experimental Gradle plugin for Android

Question

Hey I am having some issues adding a signing my release build variant. Currently I am using the experimental gradle 2.5 with the new android gradle plugin version 0.1.0.

You should be able to add the release keys with a script like this:

model {
    android.buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig = $("android.signingConfigs.signed")
        }
    }

    android.signingConfigs {
        create("signed") {
            keyAlias = "meow"
            keyPassword = "**"
            storeFile = file("meow-key.keystore")
            storePassword = "**"
            storeType = "jks"
        }
    }
}

Currently it seems to be a bug in the plugin.
You need to specify -Dorg.gradle.model.dsl=true when you run your gradle command.

Also you should have an issue with proguard. In this case you can use new File("path/to/proguard-rules.pro") instead of file('proguard-rules.pro')
