chose your Android project and in the "Facet 'Android'" window click TAB "Packaging",you will found what you want

Answer 3

It is at the same location: ~/.android/debug.keystore

Answer 4

Here's how i finally created the ~/.android/debug.keystore file.

First some background. I got a new travel laptop. Installed Android Studio. Cloned my android project from git hub. The project would not run. Finally figured out that the debug.keystore was not created ... and i could not figure out how to get Android Studio to create it.

Finally, i created a new blank project ... and that created the debug.keystore!

Hope this helps other who have this problem.

Answer 5

Android Studio debug.keystore file path depend on environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME.

If ANDROID_SDK_HOME defined, then file placed in SDK's subfolder named .android .
When not defined, then keystore placed at user home path in same subfolder:
- %HOMEPATH%\.android\ on Windows
- $HOME/.android/ on Linux

Answer 6

If you use Windows, probably the location is like this:

C:\User\YourUser\.android\debug.keystore
