keytool error          


        

Answer 1

It's a common mistake, when we're going to generate Signed APK in Android Studio. So in Keystore file you can't use any special character or symbol such as (, \ + - * / < > ; ' ") otherwise, you get java.io.IoException.

See a Demo, how can you fill-up your Keystore file:

Password: anything without special character or symbol

Alias: Key0 (up to you)

Validity (years): 25 (up to you)

First and last Name: Your proper Name but don't use special character in your name like $unny @dam

Organizational Unit: Your organization Name

Organization: Your organization Name

City or Locality: Your City Name

State or Province: Your State or Province Name

Country Code (XX): Use your country code, if you don't know then search Google.

Then click OK
