3 years ago I did a test and can confirm I get the same (on macos, windows seems to be fine with it) result with a $ in the password. The issue is with how you pass the password to the CLI - $ has special meaning, so the following:
ns build --release --aab --key-store-password somepass$wordis received by the CLI as
ns build --release --aab --key-store-password somepassbecause $word is an empty shell variable.
There's nothing in the CLI to fix this, you just need to either escape the $ characters with \$, or wrap the password in single quotes:
ns build --release --aab --key-store-password 'somepass$word'
Environment Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running
tns infoin your project folder or by inspecting thepackage.jsonof the project):Describe the bug When building for Android release,
ns build android...givesdespite both Play Store and key tool accepting the keystore/key as valid. To Reproduce Create a key store. try to build app bundle with
ns build android --release --aab --keystore...Expected behavior Produces lab without error Sample project Can provide
Additional context This occurred with a newly created app as well as one a couple years old.
Here's the issue: It just didn't like the password. The keystore password had a $ in it. Changing the password had no effect if the $ was still in it. In fact, having the wrong password gave the same error. But using a password with no $ worked fine.
