Signing is not working

Hello, I'm recently getting the following error:

Error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'app/build/outputs/apk/release/key.jks'

That error is a bit strange. One possible reason is, gradle assembleRelease runs successfully, but app/build/outputs/apk/release folder is not created.

Could you please:

1. Temporarily disable the sign-android-release step
2. Set the path option of upload-artifact to app/build/outputs/apk/release

To observe the operation and output files of gradle assembleRelease itself?

An example of modifying the workflow:

    - run: gradle assembleRelease

#     - name: Sign app APK
#       id: sign_app
#       uses: ilharp/sign-android-release@nightly
#       with:
#         releaseDir: app/build/outputs/apk/release
#         signingKey: ${{ secrets.SIGNING_KEY }}
#         keyAlias: ${{ secrets.ALIAS }}
#         keyStorePassword: ${{ secrets.KEY_STORE_PASSWORD }}
#         keyPassword: ${{ secrets.KEY_PASSWORD }}

    - name: Upload Artifact
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: signed-apks

If the workflow runs successfully, please pay attention to the log of the upload-artifact step, which will output the full path of the unsigned apks. Please paste their full path in reply.

This is what I'm getting now:

Error: No files were found with the provided path: app/build/outputs/apk/release. No artifacts will be uploaded.

Seems that I guessed it right - gradle assembleRelease runs successfully, but app/build/outputs/apk/release is not created. Maybe the generated apk is somewhere else, or gradle assembleRelease did not compile and generate the apk at all.

Since your project still won't build properly without sign-android-release enabled, there's not much I can do to help you. As my personal advice, I recommend:

• Check app/build.gradle to see if your build script specifies a different folder as the output directory for the apk
• Check the actions run log of step gradle assembleRelease to see if the apk has been generated, and where it was generated

Thanks a lot, I'll see what I can do.
